What are primary and secondary research?

Secondary research is gathering information from a third party source such as forums or research somebody has already conducted and posted for others to learn from.Secondary research is Second hand.

where could i use these research methods to analyse a problem within a game?

If there was a sound problem within a game i would play the game myself to test it and also take surveys about what people think of the audio problem these would be considered Primary research. I would then check the review and go to game forums to see what people are saying about the game and the problem/s it has this would be considered secondary research.

What is quantitative and qualitative research?

Why is music and sound FX so important within games development?

Music is important in games development as music creates a mood or tone that can make the player feel certain emotion or create tension within the scene. sometimes music is made to make the player realise something without saying it explicitly. An example of this would be final fantasy XV before battle  and in battle sound and music as before battle it has this high pitch screech and as you get detected it falls to a low pitch screech until you are detected then it jumps straight into battle music this fully prepares the player and makes them aware that they have been spotted and that they are now battling the opposition. this shows that sound is important in games as it can warn the player or give audio ques within games. some games use sound to show how far a secret is from you and the sound gets louder as you get closer. sound FX are important within games as it lets the player know important info such as in FPS Games the enemy footsteps and if their reloading

About me

My name is Abdul. I wanted to take part in the games design course as i love games before i came to college i was looking for something to do other than sitting in my room playing games. So i decided to look at creating games. It was then i found game maker i looked at a few tutorials and successfully remade space invaders. while designing the game was fun what really got me into games design was the programming. After my first game i started looking at more powerful software such as unity but it was much more complicated than game maker that's the entire reason i came to college to understand how to use the more complex software. My favourite game currently is rainbow six siege as i enjoy the competitive aspect of it. I also enjoy playing assassins creeds origins as the story is enjoyable and the combat is immersive.
