My all time favourite franchise is the Gears of War titles. Since I was the age of 8 I have been playing Gears of War. It began with my brother picking it up with the Xbox 360. My brother, 6 years older than me was much more active when it came to playing this Rated 18s title. I would sometimes watch and wait until I could get the chance to play myself. There has been 5 titles since the original Gears of War which was released in 2006. Still to this day I play the Gears franchise, the current title being "GEARS 5" a small rebrand from it's prior titles. Over the summer and during lockdown I have began livestreaming on Twitch.tv/mattdrenaline where stream playing GEARS 5 almost every day anywhere between 4-8 hours.



I've been in the Gears community for many years and have competed on this game in tournaments in the past. Unfortunately not winning any but have attended international events to play. My stream has gotten extremely popular now and people I once looked up to, I'm now friends with and pulling even more number than them at times. This game has been such a big part of my life opening many opportunities and it's really only beginning. Sadly with this current pandemic all international's events, even national events are cancelled and not future time on when they might resume.

  Gears of War has always impacted me like no other game. The emotion portrayed from these 3D characters really hits home. I feel like I've grown up with these characters, over the years learning so much about them, Their relationships, loss, success, failure everything. Marcus Fenix, the lead protagonist of the franchise, a war hero constantly saving his home but at times finding him in despair. One scene I'll never forget. His best friend, somebody he would call a brother, Dominic Santiago who since day one of the release has been by his side fighting with every last drop, sacrifices himself to save his squad all while Marcus, and the players watch in an emotional suicide to rejoice with his late wife Maria.

The saddest death in video game history? : GearsOfWar

   Truly impacting stuff. Each time I watch it I'm with with a flurry of emotions and have teared up more times than once. The Gears of War staple sound track "Mad world" plays as Dom drives a vehicle into a tanker of oil in an attempt to kill all Locust to save delta squad. This song is used each time a devastating event happens in the campaign.

Game Idea Research

Image
Taken via Google Images (Click for link)  The game I am choosing to create for the remainder of this project is going to be a FPS style shooter. Now, right off the bat that seems complex and, in all honesty I am a little sceptical about the workload that may be involved but after doing quite a lot of research I definitely think it is manageable. I don't plan on creating anything too spectacular my main goal is to have the basic mechanics of the game to work properly along with some basic graphics. If in time I'm capable of creating more detailed graphics and find the time and resources to do so, I most definitely will but the priority is for my game to run as intended. I will begin with the sheer minimum. an open plane, untextured perhaps with some 3D objects to add some atmosphere and to create placeholders for future development. ideally I would like the game to run as a quick response, precision shooter which while having fun and exciting aspects to the game, can be used to

Introduction Of A Future Superstar

Image
  Hi! I'm Matthew, An up and coming superstar. Mark my words! I've just turned 22 and am currently in my second year of college studying Creative Digital Media at TU Dublin Blanchardstown. School was never really for me. When I was young I was a "bad kid" constantly getting in trouble and never listening or participating. Primary school I enjoyed while I was young but once secondary came along I absolutely hated it. I would dread going into school in the morning, constantly trying to pursued my mom not to send me in. I missed countless days during school as I just felt I was never learning anything as I could not find interest in anything. I would sit there drawing or try to listen to music from my phone. I'd do this by putting an earphone through my sleeve, holding it in my hand and leaning my head on my hand. Anything to occupy me until I could go home. I fell behind so much to the point where there was no catching up. I just simply did not want to be there and

Unity Tutorial 02

Image
  Upon completion of this beginner tutorial I felt very achieved. Although most of the work was done and was following a step by step guide. It's very rewarding to start a project and have it operating properly by the time you finish. I thought I would run into a lot of problems along the way but the software was really quite straight forward.    Coding came easy enough, I did however get an error when attempting to go into G ameview as I forgot to add the ";" at the end of my code. Looking back over my lines of code I was able to locate the problem, mainly because of how many times I've made this same mistake in Brackets while developing websites so the problem was quite noticeable to me. It's great to see similarities like that between modules that I'm doing currently. Web development I'm sure will fit in nicely to future coding that I will need to do I'm sure.    I do feel I will forget a lot of the code in the future, I think that will be my main
