review week comments and feedback

Feedback is something that we are getting a lot of this year. In comparison to last year, there is constant feedback and always someone suggesting something new of a different way to approach the project, not only in this module but in all of them. We have had several sessions, both in person and online or through audio files where lecturers have given us our feedback on our projects.
I think feedback is one of the most important aspects to our college course, especially when a lot of our work is done outside lab and lecture time and all uploaded online. The fact that the lectures and other students are interested in what you are doing really inspires me to work harder for the grades and final result that I want, be that from game design or graphic design or even film.

The feedback that I found most useful so far this year has been the people asking 'WHY' or 'HOW'.
These types of feedback really made me think about certain areas of my game ideas that i may have glazed over or just avoided altogether. One week in particular that the feedback was very helpful was the week we designed our GDD. the feedback from other students really helped to to go back and edit the work  i had done or fill in gaps that were missing.

As regards to the feedback that I am giving out, it really depends on what time of the day it is when I am giving the feedback. I’ve really enjoyed reading other people’s blogs and came documents. When giving the feedback I was trying to be as honest as I possible could while trying to give helpful comments and feedback. I think it’s always helpful to give someone your opinion because it can give them another point of view for their project, especially when it comes to our games.


From commenting on other people’s blogs I have learnt a lot more about the people in my year. By the end of last year I believed that I knew my year pretty well but there is even some new things that I learnt about my close friends through their game design thoughts or through their introduction. I’ve also learnt a lot about each persons style of design from the way they are designing their game or by the way that they have designed their blog.  I really enjoyed reading people introduction posts because I have learnt a lot about their personal lives outside of college that we haven’t been able to see due to our huge work load. From people’s work and career to their everyday interest and even their hobbies like performing, sports, art and even using their skills they are learning in college and putting them to use in the real world. It’s very inspiring and it makes me want to do more outside of college and my regular hobbies like art and ballet.

I think moving forward I would like to give more detailed feedback for people’s games. Most of the time when I have been giving feedback it has been late at night after I’ve completed maybe three other assignments so I feel I could do much more on that front.

I think that’s enough blabbering from me for one day
