I really like the course i think its great, but there are some things that need to be sorted out like the lack of creativity within in some of the students i think that looking at films will help us and we also need to be thought how to mod games and how to understand the game engine's, I think it would be a good idea if we had more of a drawing class because our one is short and i also think that a 3d workshop would be good to gain the understanding of how things work.
thats it the blog system is great never seen anything better, and Joel's class is very helpful and so is Chris & Jack's drawing class but we need more time with all the tutors to gain a better understanding of how things work,
I will keep writing blogs over the summer and thank to all of you!

Task 22
I am going to write about the conference with Peter Molyneux about Fable 2 because I liked the first Fable game and this one looks much better so far, there is a minimal amount of information about it on the net I can only find out about the dog that there bringing in to the game.
I will tell you why I am looking at fable 2 because of the amount of creativity thats been put in to the game and the fact that fable was a hell of a risk to take in the first place, it was like this because Peter Molyneux promised more than he had with fable, he said your character will grow you from a child and that it would be free roaming but it was not and the public was not happy...... I even think he was sent death treats.
But this time he is only aloud to talk about features that are going to be in fable 2 plus he has tryed to restore some of the things that where not in fable I like the fact that he still trying to give the things that he could not do before and he has made fable 2 more impressive that the first because it is free roaming there more weapons and armor a bigger land and you get a dog at the beginning of the game and it actually acts like a dog.
Theres a lot of things that i like about fable the fact that all the people have British accents and the fact that you can you emotions to tell people things , I like that fact that they've taken this further with fable 2 in the fact that Peter thinks that its not the ending of that game that makes it a momentous game its the feeling that you get when you see something truly worth completing or doing something tedious to gain a feeling of worth.

Task 21
I agree that the blogs are there to exercise the mind so that we can use are mind to the full extent of its ability's, I also understand that the fact that its not all about teaching but about reflecting on the work that we have learn through out the course, I believe that I have acquired this level of ability but I also believe that there's lot more to improve on.
I think that I am going to archive a vast knowledge of 3Ds max and a improved drawing skill plus a degree I want to go as far as I can in the industry because I want to make an incredible game, but I would as so be quite happy drawing concepts or making 3D models but if I had the choice I would choose drawing for games because I like drawing and I also like drawing and redrawing the same character to get him to look perfect I like that and its all part of development in my book and I also hope that I could be creative in my job as well but that’s not always an option with a job is it...
But this is my choice to down this path and I worked to hard to going to give up now..
and I will work until I can get a good job that reflects my creativity ...
I so pose that I've always wanted to work for lion head studios because I realized that having your own art style is important, so I decided to not draw any manga because its just copying an art style that’s from another planet ........ I know you think I'm crazy any way I digress I decided that I should draw in a British style of some sort because I British and that makes me tied to the style and custom of this country and that’s why I want to work for lion head studios because the only British company that makes British games with British humour and a certain sense of creativity in the fact that they are one of the only company's left that try to do something different with game to try and push the bar.

Task 20 Creativity
In my opinion is that all people can be creative weather it drawing, wrighting , art directing and maybe even programing. but in my opinion creativaty is some thing that we all can do its just making a object,person or story that has never been done before I think this is easy to do but it takes time more than anything because when I get an idea I have to keep refining that idea other wise it will become not the image in my head but a freek and then that would wreck the idea and give me some sort of crappy non unique character.
see the way that I create a character gives me a range of things to do I draw the basic character then do research over the net to gather inspiration to help me mold the character, after I have gathered enough I will draw 3-5 character and review there good and bad points and the combine all there good points to make the character I want, if there are any parts on the character that do not pleese you then you have more research to do.
you want to know what creativity looks like.... creativity has no form until its refined here is an example of what it looks like after the refining process

scroll down the page and check out one of the video's.
I would show my creativity by the amount of effet in my work because I like doing creative things, I think acknoledging other peoples work isn't a problem its the fact that the work is created and you can see if its going to be a good design from the start, but weather they refine that idea propaly or not is another story because as I've already said the part that make it truly creative is getting the proper idea out of your head and working it until it is perfect.
quote: lack of satisfaction with something, and confidence in our capacity of changing this. People who accepts things as they are, will never produce a single atom of change.
this is my point of view and I live by it NEVER be happy with your work, my dad taught me this and it has helped me no bounds, the thing is I don't know many who think like this to them its do a drawing and thats it..... NO do a drawing wright all the things that are wrong and the things that are wright and then do the drawing again. I thin because of this method I have improved my drawing skill with each drawing but its not enough I can do better with every drawing I have done.
You see by thinking like this as soon as I finish a drawing I know I can do it better there fore driving me fullword and making me better at what I do.
creativity in games can be included in every aspect of the game but rarely is its usaly seen in characters and levels but its hard to see with in games because the creativity in the game could be realy good but is let down because of the programing, but I think they try less now days because its all about making money so they'll go with something tryed and
tested, and this brings a problem because game wont change much if people think like that. I have been keeping an eye on a certain game because I like what they tryed to achieve but could not.
the game that I think is one of the most creative apart from Big Little Planet, its Fable and Fable 2
I liked Fable although it was easy I liked the Britsh humor in it and the fact you could use emotions as well, its things like this that make it creative it trying new ways of doing things and new concepts that make it creative.
Fable 2 should be a good game... I hope , I know that they have give the main character a dog that looks pretty smart, and the fact the if you choose to be female at the beginning you can get pregnant and have children......It looks interesting.
