  (Book) Introduction Marketing video games is a key component in the video game making process. Without game marketing games would not see the popularity they have today. There are a few components that will help market a game. In this chapter some of the components mentioned are how to use an already established fan base, ways to monetise games that are based on the free to play model, and show how game budgets have grown and how marketing budgets have grown to make the video game industry one of the biggest entertainment industries in the world. There are both ethical and unethical ways to achieve game marketing and the more nefarious unethical ways tend to result in more sales this will also be covered further in this chapter.     Advertising   Game studios advertisers and game publishers have one common goal, to spread awareness of their product and then make a profit from it.

  (stack of pages) Today im going to be talking about the unity tutorial for this week. This week’s tutorial was familiar with me as I had top do a lot with text in the game jam, game I made. So making canvass and using text mesh pro is already familiar to me. Importing google fonts is alawys useful so knowing how to do that is useful. Formatting the text was easy as I already done it before. This tutorial was a very quick one as I knew what I was doing. Making the player be able to hold the text like a clipboard was useful swell as many unity game have instruction done like this. More snapping practice is useful to know how to optimise the vr controller still a shame I cannot test it due to not having a vr headset.

From this criticism I now know what I need to improve in the paragraphs I had written last week. I now know that I need to expand a little on what I have written include a quote or two into the paragraph and have more information in the paragraphs. I also feel I need to read back over my paragraphs again and see if I can improve the wording aslo to see if i have correctly phrased the opening sentence and if the conclusion is correct. The feedback I received was mostly positive which I hope is a good thing but I learned a lot by reading other peoples work which I think will help me improve the paragraphs.

I went over how to resize mesh sizes which was useful as i haven’t used that feature in a while and it also taught me new things on how to make things snap into place, this is useful for any game I’m making that requires items to be stopped when placed. The tutorial also shows how to make things light up with proximity which is useful for interacting with items. The tutorial was useful learning how things light up and snap into place is good for making tutorials in video games and helping the player understand how to play the game.it would have been helpful to have a working vr controller to test these things n game but I guess testing in unity itself will have to do.

Advertising is a key factor in game sales in today’s market it can make a worse game sell better or a better game sell worse if advertising is or isn’t applied correctly. Advertising is also changing with the old ways not being as affective as the new. New forms of advertising are always emerging and if one can capitalize  on a few aspects they can spread awareness of game and possibly increase game sales.   Monetizing Companies are ways trying to find new sources of revenue, game companies are no different therefore there is more than way to monetize  a game. Since the game market has grown rapidly in recent years new forms of games have emerged like the free to paly game. These new games still try to make money be it from showing you ad

It was a very easy tutorial and didn’t take much time the new thing I learned was Vertex snapping which I did not know about before. I think working In the right scale is important as well as was demonstrated in the tutorial if he didn’t resize everything he would be too small to start the car battery. This tutorial has been the most technical so far and it is a shame I do not have a vr headset to test these tutorials like it suggests in the videos. It would be nice to actually see how it looks like In game.
