Secrets in Games/APP's

Portal is a puzzle based game that defies the laws of physics. The creators valve have created a wide range of games and have created a world wide fan base so the creators like to add a little gift to their games to make the hardcore fans find them, these a re called Easter Eggs even though they arn't done in the month of April they still have the same principle of hiding things in hidden areas. In this photo it shows 4 of the Turret machine gun firing robots in a hidden area, this Easter egg is a singing Easter egg and they turrets are making music.

Another type of secret in media is in you every day phone. The creators of Apple coded in the function Siri an intellectual AI designed to help you figure out option, search the internet or if your really lonely someone to talk to. However if you as Siri what 0 devided by 0 is, you will be replied with a rather sarcastic  sentence.







A different type of interactive media is games that story changes because of your options picking. This is best exampled by TellTaleGames The Walking dead and how the story develops and gives you options such as save one character and let the other dies, this helps the player feel more connected to the story and that they don't want someone to die but they also don't want other character to dies so it cause a dilemma and draws you into the story.

Faces

In this lesson we started our project of character creation and to start things of we did a little exercise of drawing a simple face. The first step in creating a face it to make an oval, then make a cross about halfway.Then we drew our eyes on the horizontal line and made the ears parallel to them. Then made another line underneath, then added a nose and did the same for the mouth, and added the hair line. After that we went on to create more detailed geometric shape which was rather difficult as i can draw anyways. We created more triangle knows and curvier eyes. Our last facial exercise was creating robotic shapes with the face by adding more straight than curvy lines and all lines linking up. My final design as shown with the bigger head went wrong so I decided to create something "unique".


Our final task was to create three different faces all with different feature i decide to create a robotic face and stretch it out, i thought it was cool. My next face was an attempt at a cowboy and ended up a mix of a pirate, was totally supposed to do that. last was me struggling to create another face so i made a lizard....i think. Afterwards we created emotions using 6 faces of emotions. We changed the features and swapped them around.
