21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

Since we were making a monkey parkour game my ways of thinking for the music included looking for a bongo sounding drum and cowbells to have an open beat, I added a snare and background beat to keep the mood a little light.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

My team and I collaborated very well with seeing which music would fit well, getting a good idea on the team for what parts of the game we should keep or remove some features.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

A tool I used for information was the tutorial on Soundtrap since that is what I used for sound.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

A big career skill I managed to uphold was making sound that worked well with the type of game I was making, which will come in very useful.

Reactions to the Final Version

“For you Larry I think you hit your goal with the sound” -Kennedy

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

There wasn’t much storytelling to be done in our game, it was just a quickly chopped up game that could have been refined more, especially the vine, if we were to do this on Unity or Unreal Engine.

What I Learned and Problems I Solved

I learned a lot more about how the music can change how the player feels in. the game, for scared you could have a very deep base line with a low, reverbed pitch for an echoey dark touch. Or maybe you made a platformer running game you could have a speedy, fast pace, jumpy song with a lot less base and a lot more hi-hats.

Grammar and Spelling

For grammar and spelling I have been using Grammarly, which I highly recommend for the school to install, as I have been using it for years.
