Reading 2- Planning

 Reading 2 week 14

Planning


The first reading task is all about planning. I have followed the steps of the “creating a search strategy” part of the reading. My ideas are clear and organized and I have created a solid search path for myself. My subtopic for the chapter is

 ‘the benefits of game streaming’. 


Personally I don’t know a whole lot about gaming in general, so game streaming is something completely alien to me. So I started off at the beginning. ‘what is gaming’ ‘what is streaming’ ‘game streaming platforms’. I researched each of these questions to build my knowledge from the bottom up.

  Reading 4 - week 16(4) Analysis For reading task 4, I took my research to the next stage. I am starting to delve into what information I want in my chapter.  I began with going back to my ‘search strategy’ spiderweb, looking at keywords and articles I had noted. I have read and learned about the online game streaming platform ‘Twitch’, as I feel like since being the first streaming platform it will be very relevant for my research.  A part of my search strategy I wrote out synonyms for the key words in my topic title. As I am researching all about the benefits of game streaming, I didn’t forget about  another benefit of game streaming …. Profit! In the article I read about Twitch, there was sufficive information about the start-up and success of Twitch. I have also linked another useful article I found about industries which benefit from game streaming.  link https://technosports.co.in/2022/02/28/popularity-online-streaming-gaming/     http...

  Reading 3 week 15(3) Doing For reading two, I decided to look at potential negative effects of game streaming before I solely focus on researching the benefits of game streaming. Through researching the potential damages of game streaming( as it is a relatively new form of online connection) I hope to be able to compare and contrast the negatives and positives of game streaming thoroughly. I read an article on sciencedirect.com about ‘ exploring the connection between playing video games and watching video game streaming: Relationships with potential problematic uses .’  Here I was able to read about potential damaging effects of game streaming and habits between streamers and viewers. It was quite intriguing to read and has given me a basic knowledge of my topic ‘game streaming’, before I start to plan my chapter.  link

  GAME BRAINSTORM link My first game idea is inspired by the game of life. Personally I wouldn't be interested in playing shooting games, or building games(e.g. Minecraft). So I thought because of this I shouldn't really consider trying to make one if these types of games. Something more suited to me would be a happy game ☺️. I thought of the game of life because I really enjoy the board game version. I particularly enjoy the fact that every time you play you end up with a different story/life. I also enjoy the fact that you can't choose the story like in The Sims for example. The game of life involves spinning the wheel and moving to that square, whatever square you land on is the life milestone you get. You do however have a few options at the start.  L ike you can choose to go to college, or work. These decisions will also have an effect on your salary/income in the game and will determine your financial state at the end of the g...
