Game design document draft with comments

Most of the improvements that I needed to improve were punctuation, grammar and consistency errors. Using the feedback I will improve my punctuation and consistency in order to make my design document to a professional standard.

To make sure that these problems do not happen again I will proof read my work for longer amounts of time and do so thoroughly this as a result will improve my skills with proof reading.

Using the feedback given I was able to complete most of the improvements that were stated in the PDP as a result my PDP is fully completed and is no longer in the stages of being a draft.

If I could do the PDP again I would include research as development goals and finally included tutor feedback.

Learning Styles Part 3 (M3)

There are many benefits to learning styles, they help us deal with situation in a way that makes it easy to learn and complete. When many people with different learning styles interact in a task they take different roles e.g. A pragmatist and a activist are most likely to do the physical work while the reflector and the theorist create a plan and give instructions.

Pragmatist: Learn by experimenting with tasks, usually down to earth and are practical and realistic with in tasks.

Reflector: Learn by spending a lot of time thinking about what they have to do to get a logical conclusion, they are also good listeners.

Activist: Learn by quickly starting a task/project and getting it done as quickly as possible they are also enthusiastic.

Theorist: Learn by asking questions and thinking and doing things logically they have a calm and rational approach to tasks.

I find that I am predominantly a Theorist and Pragmatists learner as I learn by following instructions as I work on a task, as I go and correct any mistakes that I may of made along the way, for example when we were tasked to create a bridge out of 10 pieces of paper and 10 pieces of tape I spent some of my time inspecting the draft model, some doing the construction, and some discussing a logical route to complete the task.

Feedback for draft PDP

Overall the quality of my PDP is great due to the fact I kept it up to date. However it is not yet complete so I must include all the hand in dates, set the each development goal in the chronological order, remove the examples on how to do the PDP on the top of the page and finally get my tutor to write feedback on the PDP. I will improve my PDP by getting more feedback from classmates and teachers, I can also improve the quality of my PDP by including research that I have learnt in my own time.

The feedback given has been useful, as it has told me what I need to do in order to get my PDP to a final completed standard.

My Game Pitch (P4, P5, P6,D1)

I made my pitch successful by...

PowerPoint

My PowerPoint mainly consisted of pictures and short bullet points. With the pictures I explained there relevance to my pitch and used them to refer to other games. As for the bullet points I extended on them by using my wide knowledge of terminology to explain to the audience what will be included in my game.

I found that this was affective as it allowed me to connect different pieces of terminology and summarise them, it increased my amount of time in rehearsal so I was able to keep speaking without stutters of pauses it prevented me from quoting everything on the PowerPoint as a result made me look very professional by using my interpersonal skills.

Interpersonal Skills

Using my interpersonal skills I was able to look and sound enthusiastic towards the audience I did this by keeping eye contact and using hand gestures in order to prove my point. This allowed my audience to keep interest in my game pitch. I was also able to summarise all the important terminology in a way that made sense. I also spoke slowly and clearly which allowed my audience to get all the important information.

As a result I was able to effectively communicate my information for my game pitch in a professional and interesting manner. However I was not sure on the definition of a terminological word  however I was able to quickly and subtly correct my error when questions were asked about it. If I was improve on my pitch I would do more research into the definitions of the terminology I was not sure on.

In conclusion my pitch was very successful due to my effective use of my interpersonal skills and my ability to extend on bullet points included in my PowerPoint. However to make my pitch successful next time I need to remember the correct definition of the terminology.
