Name: William Reidy
Course Applies: Game design
Ever since I was young, I have always had an interest in games. I always play a wide range of games from console games of the ds to the simple board, but it was not till I entry the creative media course that I started to wonder how a game is made and how fun it is to make games.
When I started college my first year in art and design at Bradford College but after doing a year, I felt like I did not enjoy the course that much but after joining creative media level 2 I immediately fell in love with what I was doing.
In creative media level 2 we learn how to make 3d modal with the Sofware maya and with this Sofware I created 4 model all models after weapons, the first model I did was a simple knuckle duster and a knife, I then created my own weapon first by hand then made it inside maya and finally I created a model gun but could not finish it because of the time period and with the first three weapon that I mention I added color and texture as well and in that year I touch Apon mudbox and unity Sofware. After level 2 l learned how to be creative and show diverse skills in different Sofware.
In creative media level 3 the first year were focus on films at the beginning of the year we focus on filming side of creative industry as we focus on foley art as we were given a clip and I job was to add our own sounds and later for my final major project (FMP) I decide to make a short film with no audio and with the FMP I must plan out the area of location the time frame of filming the actor, equipment, and others and with the FMP there was some problem but with something I manage to solve the problem . With that year the skills I chow way leadership, great planning, adaptability.
As of right now I am in creative media level 3 year 2 I have made a short film idea while trying to pitch our idea so it will get pick to be made into a short film and afterward when the pitches got chosen, we work with a so that we make the film come to live and as of right now we are currently made a game module/game idea and with this we created a documentary on the game idea like what the game is about, character, enemies and other and after wares I did some character design for the many character and soon after we did level design and as of right now we are creating the level in unreal engine. With this show teamwork, creative thinking.
While doing the courses I believe that what I enjoy the most is creating models of the game and level design as when I was creating my models and levels, I was free to create the world to my liking as so far I created a base for the many character
Outside off college I am in a group of friends are designing our own little series and I talk about the characters, the age, the design, the abilities that the character have, how the story is going to go, the enemies and others, we made a discord server just for it and we disgust and create idea and we talk about what we like about each other’s idea what we do not like about it.
In my spare time I socialize with my friends online on a discord server and from what we do we just play games and socialize and when a friend got a new game there would screen share so that we can watch the gameplay as we discuss what we like and dislike and when I was not with my friends, I do a wide range of thing from simply playing games by myself to doing some digital art for my enjoyment.
