50 Years and Beyond

With the many technological advances that have occurred throughout the history of game art, the field continues to grow more technologically advanced. Back when I was a child there were consoles and handhelds that lacked the capacity the run realistic open world games and art was being completed traditionally. Nowadays everything is being created through digital software. In the next 50 years or so I see the field of game art changing into a virtual world.  One advancement that I've noticed is the use of VR/ Oculus headsets to model and sculpt characters, environments, and props. The use of 3D painting and modeling through the use of VR is a fairly new concept and thats just the beginning of what technological advances are to come. I haven't really put much thought into the future. I want to be able to work for a few game studios to gain experience and then later on start my own game studio. But if I had to really think about it I would say I see myself somewhere north.Most

1. What is your reaction to the text you just read? My reaction to the text I just read was confusing and disgust. In the beginning of the text they are talking about drinking eggs to stay young and get drunk. On the other hand they are talking about host animals. The way the characters are disturbed in the text it's as if some of the characters are not even human. For example T'Gatoi's is described with many limbs and Gan's mother is depicted as yellow and round. The description of "birth" is very vivid especially the part where Lomas is cut open to get the baby grubs out of him. 2.What connections did you make? Discuss the elements of the work with which you are able to connect. To get a better understanding of the story I looked up the cover of the book. From what I can understand from the cover is that humans are mating with insect like creatures. The different families are the different sub species of insect beings while the host animals are humans.

1886

Instead of reading or watching a film I decided to play a game instead called The Order: 1886. After playing The Order:1886 I realized that not everything is as it seems. In this third person, cinematic game you play as the protagonist Sir Galahad, a knight in the Queen's royal guard. The Order is a government task force specialized to keep order within the city and hunt creatures of the night; werewolves, half breeds, and vampires.  When starting the game you are tasked to escape a prison cell. After doing so a flashback occurs which takes the player back a few days prior to sir Galahad's imprisonment. (Nikola Tesla in game) (Nikola Tesla) The game features many unique and interesting elements such as weapons, characters, and clothing. One character who amazed me the most was Nikola Tesla. The game artist used the famous inventor Nikola Tesla to help create concepts for the weapons that the player is able to use.  One weapon in particular is the arc gun. The arc

After watching Coraline I felt a tad bit disturbed about the other mother's true intensions. In the beginning of the film Coraline had just moved into her new home and was upset about leaving her friends behind. Similar to children who move a lot Coraline did not want to move and felt that her home town was better than the place her family moved to. On the other hand Coraline's parents showed little to no interest to her because they were always busy working. Children or teenagers can relate tp this because some parents are not home as often as they want to be due to the amount of work they have. During the film Coraline's dad gives her the task of exploring the house. In doing so she stumbles across a tiny locked door that is sealed off on the other side. Later on she goes to the door again and discovers that there's a pathway leading to a different location. The more Coraline traveled to the other side the darker things had become. Everything was slowly dying and
