The first week, I spent most of my time doing these things: Either watching and practicing tutorials, or planning out my narrative. Being restricted to about 5 minutes of narrative is very frustrating, as it is my personal belief that a good narrative cannot possibly fit within so short a time unless it falls in a category of advertisement/public messages or the sort. However, this is NO WHERE near the kind of narrative I had in mind. If everyone was confined to this, how can creativity be expressed?
PERSONAL RANT:
Don't get me wrong. I COMPLETELY understand the motive of the brief. It's because they expect us to learn new software and to achieve a balance in expressing narrative and showcasing new technical skills as well. But how about me? I am an oddity, to be honest. Things that I have no interest in, I can't learn no matter how much I try. Things I have interest in, I learn pretty damn fast. It's no different for this subject. They gave us 9 weeks to submit a complete narrative that spans about 5 minutes, well I'm sorry officer but I already created a narrative product that can span 3 hours of gameplay in ONE MONTH. In other words, I have another 9 WEEKS to do something while everyone else is still learning their SOFTWARE. I'm not trying to brag, please do not mistake my tone but there should really be exceptions stated in the brief that a student can very damn well produce an end product that goes beyond the scope of the project. An over-achievement you can say.
BUT THAT"S NOT WRONG!
Progression:
Anyhow, I went through as many as 30 tutorials online in order to learn the ins and outs of RPG maker as I intent to create an extensive narrative which covers numerous aspects and require numerous different functions to produce a truly immersive narrative. I'll be applying said knowledge on my practice board soon.
