Week One

This is my first post for game contexts, as game contexts links very closely with 2d games design there is little i can post in this blog, instead i will be posting things that are relative to this unit anything i learn that i find to be very interesting along with any other things such as any new bits of knowledge I may gain due to this unit.

The first week of contexts consisted mostly of introducing myself to the class and talking about memerable games. We also spoke of 2d games and researched 'Plants vs Zombies, however i find that this linked in better with 2D games so if this takes your interest please make your way to my blog on 2D games, since the first lesson of contexts was very much linked in with 2D games there is little i can comment on, however i can confirm that i did gain more insight into the gaming industry after being spoken to by Sioban our game contexts lecturer.

 I also obtained a photocopy of a reading "studying video games" this was given to me and the rest of the class by Sioban and she asked that we read through it and write a summary on it, due next week, this was so that Sioban will be able to tell if we understand how to present the readings in summary form and read through them properly.

 I learned specifically of various heirachy's within the gaming industry, i found this to be the main point of interest for me as it can be helpful when thinking of what area i may be interested in and seeing where it is on the heirachy.
