Game Journalism Day 5 - WALK THROUGH


To start The Long Dark is a challenging and immersive survival game that is very unforgiving in the sense that one wrong turn,decision or even step could be the end of your run trough of the game.

First off I would suggest looting anything that is either fuel for fire,food,water,clothing and weaponry/tools


The objective of this particular challenge is to 

"Recover the Distress Pistol from the summit of Timberwolf Mountain. Fire it from the top of the Desolation Point Lighthouse"

After looting the starting area I suggest that once you exit the house head straight as eventually you will come to a set of train tracks


Here there is some corpse's that can be looted as well as a dead deer that can be harvested for meat. While you could you use the meat to eat I suggest you stick with just the stuff you find as taking time to cook the meat is wasting the games daylight and plus meat can be used as a distraction for bears and wolves.


After you visited the derailed train head down the end of the tracks that have the deer body 




If your character is in severe risk of hypothermia make a fire by picking up some sticks and using the fuel you looted earlier on.

Keep heading down the tracks until you see a concrete structure that closed of by a chain link fence.


This is the dam and it will lead you to Pleasant Valley where there is a bit of a jump in terms of the games difficultly as now there will be more bears/wolves roaming around as well as the weather conditions will start to become more dangerous to go out in.

Once in the dam you should either find or place your bedroll down and rest.

Just a little thing I wanted to add to this was when I was wondering trough the dam and found a little bug by walking trough a exit door 


Anyway after leaving the dam head down the path and stick to the right side of the path until reach a cave entrance that looks like this 


Enter trough the cave entrance and find your way out the other side make sure you have some sort of light source to find your way out.

Once out try to find a radio tower and rest there 


This is the furthest I got within the hour we had to play and document our run trough the game.

Game Journalism Day 3 - TACKLE

Question 1---7days


To make fishing tackle you will need one piece of scrap metal and cured gut to make the line and hook

To make cured gut you will need to harvest gut from a animal corpse and leave it on the ground for 5 in game days 

To make the hook all you need to do is go to a workbench with the scrap metal and create a hook 

After you've done that you must create the tackle and then go find a fishing hut 

Once you've managed to find a fishing hut break the ice hole with a pry bar,hatchet or knife and there you go that's all you have to do to fish 

Question 2---I restarted because of the area that I was at didn't have any ice fishing huts around it. I started the game and ran towards the lake because I knew everything I needed to make fish tackle was there.

Game Journalism Day 2 - SURVIVE


Water can be filtered by using water filtration tablet that are usually found in the starting cabin.


Hunter stands can be found out in the wild and usually will contain supplies like ammo,food and clothes (rare)


Inside of the lakeside cabin there was ammo,hatchet,clothes and other bits and bobs likes snacks and sodi pops.

During the night I decided to explore a bit and found that it was a mistake I had made as during the night wolves and bears are harder to see but after I walked from one side of the lake to the other I found a little shack that I could stay in for the night.


This was a body I found in the lakeside cabin it contained a piece of paper that I could used to make tinder

Charcoal is used to sketch maps in the game 


Tips:
-Repair clothing and tools 
-Don't waste ammo
-Always leave a shelter with your temperature up
-Don't risk going out at night

  • I learned how to add a button that plays the animation on my blogger 
  • I learned how to create symbols for scenes as well as how to make different layers in flash
  • I was able to import a sound file of a car horn to go off at a specific frame in the animation
  • Overall this was my first introduction into any animation software besides pivot stick fig animator 
2.)
  1. I learned how to make symbols using the selector tool 
  2. I was shown how to create a grid for drawing symbols 
  3. I learned how to make a motion tween 
  4. I was taught how make a gradient out of a square cube 
  5. Another tip I learned was some of the short cuts for the program like using F9 to access the actions menu or how to create a symbol out of a shape by just pressing F8 after selecting the object 
3.) 

    To embed a Shockwave File on to your blog you must first copy this line of code into the post's HTML

Friday Post Feb 2nd 2018




What did I do this week 

This Week I made my blog and made a couple posts about the super blue blood moon. The pros and cons of ACSS and made a predicted grades post.


What code did I learn

I learned how to change the background on posts using <div style="background: lime;"> and </div>     

I also learned how to fix a transparency issue with Blogger and transparent images using 


.post-body img, .post-body .tr-caption-container, .Profile img, .Image img,

.BlogList .item-thumbnail img {

  padding: 0 !important;

  border: none !important;

  background: none !important;

  -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important;

  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important;

  box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important;

}

What are the two types of technology that I depend on  


My number one is google as it has the answer to almost anything in today's world

My number two would probably be One Drive or Dropbox as it can let me work from home during weekends if I need to catch up or edit any posts/assignments (And of course my PC)

What is my tech future 

I hope one day there will be personal drones that could carry a person (basically a small quad copter)
