Critique 2: Carl Leong

Very interesting post! I feel like you divided your thoughts in a clean way using these different paragraphs, each having their own idea while still being related with the others. It makes the reading really pleasant and allows the reader to get a concise idea of what you are trying to tell through your post and your art.
Grammatically speaking there is no mistakes I could see and overall I feel like you really tried to explain every design […]

Good work with the blog! I noticed some language inaccuracy, but I had no problem understanding the text.
It seems all teams have had some struggles, be it with the game or dynamics within the team. I feel like you have clearly discussed the parts of scrum you deem important and how scrum has been used by your group. I am surprised you thought the production simple in the beginning and felt the scrum more necessary towards the end, […]

Interesting read! Since I personally have very little knowledge of creating sound, it is always intriguing reading about the process behind it. I think it is good that you mention pitch and speed, as that will probably make the sound more varied and pleasing. It would have been nice if you had mentioned what, if any, program you used to create the sound, or if you only used your own recorded sound. Seems very funny to record the […]

Interesting read! I would personally have chosen to write about an artefact created for the game project, but this also sounds like a relevant experience. I noticed some sentence structures that were slightly “off” and one spelling mistake, but I have no trouble understanding the text.
While you explain your interpretation of the theme of the jam and write that your group had similar thoughts, I would have liked a short presentation of some ideas that did […]

General Ship Design by Emma
Hej! You explained your design process very well. When I read your post, I could almost follow everything you were saying as if I were the one designing your ship. You clearly said what was done, how and why.
Also, this post made me think about my very own choices in my designs. When I was reading I kept going back to my own design process, trying to figure out if I was going through what […]

Comment Archives: Week #2 – Alexander Sinn, Team Cockatrice

I can appreciate how you’ve chosen to take the harder yet potentially more fruitful path by going with the fog instead of nighttime. You explained your process clearly and the way you described it was also clear. I feel like me or someone else could possibly reverse engineer what you did, which, if that was your intention, you’ve succeeded.
Some English advice though. Words like ‘basically’ and ‘essentially’ are similar to ‘like’ in that there are mostly used to fill in […]

Comment number 1, made on Benjamin’s blog: https://squigglezone.wordpress.com/2018/02/08/pixel-art-and-pre-production/
Hi Benjamin! (A bit late comment here, but I have some thoughts on your post.)
Very interesting post you’ve written. It’s always fun to read up on the different ways groups work and plan out their process. It seems that your group had a very clear vision of what you wanted to create together; that is super useful and enables faster workflow. Your structure in this post is great, very easy to follow […]

Hi Therese!
Let me start off with saying that your post clearly describes the what, how and why. You describe Scrum and its different aspects in a clear and relevant way, and you also describe the process of working with Scrum clearly. I think your analysis is good overall, in that you list what has worked better and worse with the method. (On a side note, our group has also had issues with the time estimation, especially us […]

Week 3 feedback

Good afternoon, or whenever Felix. This was quite the intro perspective read. How you described the general work process of your group and your own workflow was all very easy to digest. Your description of the group dynamic gave me a good overview of your relation to one another and the project – without going into too much details.
 
I think that you like many other (me included) don’t have a real good grasp of how SCRUM works, […]

Link to the post: https://andersdotgames.wordpress.com/2018/02/15/presentations-where-i-wanna-be/

Hi Anders! I will critique your blog post today.
Let me start with saying that your text clearly conveys which artifact you have decided to reflect upon.
Furthermore, I think you clearly display your thought process while creating the presentation. You bring up the different pros and cons of using different presentation programs and why you ended up choosing the one you did use in the end. It was also interesting to read your thought process behind the visual […]

Teachers, Look This Way!

Since I have received ‘incomplete’ on the Student Portal for some reason, in this post, you will find my comments and their corresponding links

Post #1:
“Good to hear you´re feeling better now! It´s just that time of the year.
The harpoon looks fitting for the visual style of the game and the feeling. Not very dangerous-looking, but for this concept I think that´s the right way to go.
I think it´s clear what you did, and why, but […]

COMMENT 3     27/02/2017
Hi. I am not very interested in learning project management methods, but I do realise that it is important to know at least one that works if you are trying to finish a bigger project. I get a feeling that you feel about the same about scrum as me; you are mostly interested in the practicality of it. I agree that learning scrum is best by using it and working with it, and you really see the […]
