IDENTITIES-SECOND SELF part2

Vside Day one

I entered the virtual world with alias as Monkeyd, I explored the 3 different section of the world. I was quite quiet to begin with but it started to get a bit busier. I have made 6 friends already they are all from America. I had a dance with a girl in Club and she swithed her clothes to a bikini it made me laugh because it made realise that people that this sort of thing serious. They actually asked how do I look. I did not know what to say. Its a virtual women. 

This is my Character on the game.

IDENTITIES-SECOND SELF

When I first read that I needed to create a second identity. I did not have a clue what I would need to do. So I looked at Second life and tried to get a account with it and I was not able to they did not send me a confirmation email so it was impossible for me to set up an account with them. I thought I was not going to be able to do the project. My lecturer told me that there were other online communities. So I decide to join Vside. This is a relatively new but free online community by doppelganger. The Characters are all cell shaded giving it a cartoon look to it.  There are 3 towns to visit. Its quite a small online community. then again that could be a good thing because if you lose a friend you can find them easily. You can also teleport to your friends if you want to speak to them.

On this society you can purchase a credits which are a sort of currency that can be used on the game to purchase new clothes for you character. I don't think that will be something that will be something that I will be doing. I have heard that people spend a lot of money on these virtual world especially second life where you can opt to pay £9 a month so you can buy land and clothes or set up a business. 

 Im going to keep a day to day diary of the goings on and the interaction of my character with other members within the world of Vside.

This image I have commented on before I thought I was appropriate to use because of the use of bright contrasting colours used on it and the use of think black outline really adds to the flatness of the colour.

NEW TERM, NEW MODULE-IDENTITIES

We have started our new term and our new module. I found review week to be very positive and helpful, I have set my self some new aims for the term. I am considering producing an online portfolio I am thinking of using flash to produce it. so this would mean that I should looking at books on flash for help on action script. I am really looking forward to the challenges ahead.

Flash Project Part 5

The project is finished and all I need to do is hand in my work. The Flash project was a big learning curve as I have never used flash before and so having to learn how to use was a daunting task.

For the project I came up with the idea of creating a character called cliff. He is a student that is confused on what he should do with his life at university. So it is down to the user to decide what they should do with him and what path they should take as a student. I had a few problems when it when it came to implementation because of the loops I wanted to make within the project. I feel that it went quite successful and that the loops and buttons I used work the way they should. I think that I had spent a few more hours on it I think I could of made it betters because I noticed some mistakes before I had to hand it in. I feel next time I do a project I will make sure I spend a little more time making sure there no mistakes.
