Annotated bibliography 2

-
The following Bibliographies show the history of interactive story telling and how to best research for your gaming project. I followed the mind map from "Interactive storytelling" to "Theory" to "History". I also research articles on technology that help people as our game will be used to help kids learn what happened in 1916 and teach older generations what it was really like. 1.  Ian Yeoman ,  Una McMahon‐Beattie , (2015)  "Trends: cyborg games",  Journal of Tourism Futures , Vol. 1 Issue: 1, pp.74-77,  https://doi.org/10.1108/JTF-12-2014-0019 In this article, Yeoman and McMahon-Beattie discuss the possibilities of cyborgs becoming one with all man kind.

Final Presentation - Game reviews

There were good projects though out the class with a load of work done between the groups. The first project that I had the chance to look at was "Tiny Farm".

In this weeks tutorials, I learned how to create wind and fix lighting, fade screens and create a more realistic looking environment eg.

In the first tutorial of this week we are shown how to add a skybox. By adding a skybox we can manipulate the sky and colouring of the game depending on the type of mood you want to set in your game. This is very helpful if you want your game to take place at dusk or dawn. It'll add atmosphere to your game. Jimmy Vegas also shows us how to create a wind zone that will give the game a more realistic look to our game and how to pick a speed that will allow for realism but also wont let it get warped by the speed. In the second tutorial Jimmy Vegas showed us how to create Fade screens in our game. This will allow for a better looking game when creat...
