Feedback Thoughts

How to Get Past Negativity Bias in Order to Hardwire Positive Experiences this is the first article I chose to read. This talks about how we are very negatively evolved with our brains taking in more of the negative stuff around us rather than the positive. Which I think is really accurate as many people put themselves down for the work and have a constant feeling of it not being good enough or not having confidence in yourself. As I know I really do struggle with those things. This post teaches you how to re-hard wire your brain to take in more of the positive mindset. I found that some of them were very useful and interesting ways of  trying to change your mindset

Why rejection hurts so much — and what to do about it this is the second article I chose to read. I found this quote really interesting "The greatest damage rejection causes is usually self-inflicted. Just when our self-esteem is hurting most, we go and damage it even further." As I said in the first paragraph I find most people put themselves down which furthers the problem with rejection. Affecting everything in your life from mental state to day to day activities. The same part of the brain that gets activated is the same part that gets activated for pain. It says to have zero tolerance for self criticism. I feel like this would be a hard plan to put into place as most people do it without realising.

We all face rejection

    Nice blog, man! I like the detail you went in about rejection. Can be difficult for some to cross that hurdle of rejection but I think sometimes rejection is important so the person can focus on getting better.

Game Idea Research

The idea I am focusing in on is a hamster who has escaped the house from its owner in a hamster ball and is exploring the outside world for the first time. Some mechanics I was thinking of having is an attack against enemy's like cats and animal control. Im not sure what I would do as the attack move though as there are many ways I could do it. I could do a similar one to sonic the hedgehog and spin fast or jump on top of them. I could also give him a weapon which would be easier to do probably. Another mechanic is that the hamster ball can act as a barrier/ second life like in mario when he gets bigger from eating a mushroom. I feel like it would be a good and interesting mechanic to add as it will enable me to make the game more difficult.The last mechanic is a simple one but it gives an objective to the game which is for the h amster to collect something around the map. What the character would be based on Source

Alpha

This is my alpha for my game. Im unsure whether to add more terrain around the area such as grasslands and have the city isolated. Or leave it how it is. There is also an underground in the subway. Im finding it tedious to do each and everything but now its mainly copy and paste which is not too bad. I also have gems in the game but want to change them to acorns or nuts. Im finding the textures difficult in getting them right for the size and not overlapping. Im on track with getting most things with my game I am just trying to make it more professional looking. Just adding in the sky and other small things such as music. I am struggling to find a character that suits what I am looking for. The subway and sidewalk and buildings close up The buildings from further back

Game Brainstorm

My first idea I have for my game is an obstacle style game where you have to jump over gaps and time running through blades all while collecting gems to pass through to the next level. If you fall down a gap or get hit by a blade you go back to a checkpoint or to the start. Each level would have a different theme or style look. Each level will get more difficult with things like the level art affecting what you can see making it harder. I like this idea because I enjoy these challenge games and I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to produce. I guess you could say it would be similar to the game mirrors edge a little bit. This is what I would say best describes the game. Here is an example of it My second idea is about an alien who crashed on earth and is looking for parts for his ship to leave. But he is being chased by the FBI so has to deal with them while looking for pieces. The alien will have a gun and can shoot the FBI agents. There will be cows that you can abduct/absorb
