How will it benefit the teamOur team's use of Trello will benefit the team in many ways. First of all, it will allow us to put all of our team members tasks in one place. This will help us because it significantly reduces the amount of effort needed to find out what you need to be doing at a specific time whereas now you can just look at Trello and see what your next task to get done is. It also benefits the team by allowing us to focus on specific tasks that need to get done rather than just simple guesswork that we would be doing without Trello, How could I use this outside of this class?Although I was introduced to Trello in this class, I will make use of it outside of this class. First of all, I could use it as a place to organize my homework for this class and other classes. By doing this, I could be able to work more efficiently on my assignments since they will all be in one place, which is the purpose of Trello. I could also use it as a way to plan out college applications by seeing which schools I have already applied to and which ones I still need to apply to. In short, I can make use of this outside of class as well as inside of class. In short...

Why did I choose to be a level designer?I chose to be a level designer for many reasons. First of all, I feel very confident about my ability to create very interesting levels for players to play through, as I think that I have very creative ideas on this front. Second of all, the tools needed to create level outlines I am already very familiar with them having worked on them for years now at this point. Finally, I see it as one of the most important positions as without it the games you play wouldn't be that interesting since there was no thought put into how the pieces are arranged. What will I be doing?Now that I know why I want to be a level designer, what will I actually be doing? First, I will be responsible for brainstorming ideas for what the levels could look like. I will then present these ideas to the team lead who will either accept or reject them. If they are accepted, I will proceed to make them in Photoshop in order to create a sharable digital copy. If they are rejected I will then try to go back and revise them and then hopefully present them again. In short...
Here's a good graphic I createdSo how did it begin?This project began with the creation of a small, castle outpost I created in a previous activity. I then started to create UVW textures but I soon found that it was more difficult than expected. So, I knew I needed to take action. I then proceeded to snoop around and eventually I found this brilliant tutorial and I learned that it was as simple as just using the Flatten Mapping tool. This process of simplification helped me learn an otherwise complicated process which I otherwise would have struggled with What did I do next?Once I had textured my outpost, I began to move it into Unity. Before doing this, since I was ahead of the group, I began on working on my terrain which at the time I and the rest of my classmates were proud of. I then believed that I might be good at environmental design, which I later realized I wasn't, as others had created better terrain than me. So once I created the terrain, I put my materials into the shared folder and allowed others to have access to them. I was then able to bring in models into Unity, which I had never done before which was quite exciting and daunting. After struggling to find the textures, I then created materials for each of the textures which I would then assign to the objects in the Scene. Finally, I created some simple rocks in Unity which I used leftover textures to texture. In short...
