Game Testing

 Game Testing is essentially for every game and every designer should go trough the stage of game testing.I read two articles one is called "7 different types of Game Testing"which I found very interesting I think that this article has all the types of testing that you can pick from to test your game.

1)"Functionality testing:This type of testing is done to confirm whether the end product works following the specifications."

2)"Combinatorial testing:By making use of this method, you can effortlessly test the game rapidly in its earliest stages. Initially, the initial step is to discover how much testing your game necessitates."

3)"Ad Hoc Testing:Ad hoc testing often referred as ‘’general testing’’ is a less structured way of testing and it is randomly done on any section of the gaming application."

4)"Compatibility Testing:Compatibility testing aims to detect any defects in the functionality and shows if the final product meets the essential requirements of the software, hardware, and graphics.

5)"Clean Room and Tree Testing:Clean room test helps to ensure the consistency as well as reliability of the gaming software. The aim of conducting this clean room testing is to produce a product with negligible errors."

6)"Regression Testing:It is used to scrutinise the functionality of the complete features of the gaming application. "

7)Performance Testing:Performance testing is used to determine the application’s overall performance under real-time scenarios and load."

Also the video I have watched is really good it explains about game testing.What I learned from that video is that we all need to test our game at different stages of development in order to understand what needs to be fixed and developed because when we create a game we have to adapt it for the person that is playing it.He was also saying that it is a lot better to bring someone and let them experience what it is like to play the game and what person likes and what are the things that need to be changed or improve to make your game better and satisfy users that would be playing it.Overall I really liked this reading because it is very relevant to what I am doing know in terms of creating my game and what I am thinking is to get my 10 year old brother to test my game and I want to see his reaction ad what he is gonna like and dislike about my game.

Hi my name is Roman Komar I’m originally from Ukraine I live in Ireland for 6 years. I’m a second year student in TU Dublin the course I am studying for a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Digital Media.First year in college was very interesting and I discovered a lot of new things for myself throughout the year there was a lot of difficulties I had to face in order to complete the modules especially at the end of second semester when the lockdown happened we had to study remotely and finish all our project’s online which was very difficult to complete online.Summer of 2020 was the worst summer we all had but hopefully all this lockdown and Covid will be over as soon as possible and we all come back to a normal life.I absolutely love listening to music because it relaxes me and helps me to concentrate and sometimes even motivates me.My favourite music is pop and rap but I can actually listen to a lot of genres of music.I also like different sports such as soccer and rugby but my favourite s...

Game Design Document

 In my Game Design Document I mention and clearly explained what I will exactly do in my game and what is going to be involved in it and also all the process that I will implement in the game.So to start with  I decided to create a power point presentation in which I have broken all the process into stages that the game will be created and how the game should look like. I started with a the name of my game which I have finally created the name of my game would be " Ghost Runner" Then I made a summary section were I briefly explained what the game is going to be about. Than I went on to the next section which is Gameplay and in this section I wrote about the features of the game and what would be involved in the gameplay in general.In the next section I spoked about Game Style were I have explained the game style of my game and also to what my game is similar to and all other aspects such as the game would be in cartoonish  ghost style to describe the mood of the game as g...

"Game Design"

 Today I read an article about games and what they are and what is involved in creating a game. I read a paper called "What is a Game Anyway" by Ian Schreiber which I found very interesting because he explains about games and that they are very similar to each other every game has a story, goals ,rules and different outcomes.Before reading this article I had a very little idea  how ill be creating my own game but as Schreiber said "Choose your own adventure book" which means create your own story and make it as confusing as you want and  be yourself , be creative even at the end of his article he says grab a pen and lets create a game which also shows us that we should overcome our fears and just be creative and try our best I don't be afraid to create a game just because you never did it before I think that was a great example which involved a person to try  make a game with a pen on the paper and overcome the fear of something that is impossible to create Link...
