Hi Clara! I really enjoyed reading your blog post, it was well structured and easy to understand for someone who has no prior knowledge of your project. I liked the inclusion of images and animations too; the animation process was very clearly described and literally laid out in front of me. Your need to alter the colors of the jellyfish so it stands out from the background made sense to me and seemed like a reasonable choice to make. I […]

This is Guy Dimor from group Wendigo, here we go…
First of all, this is surprisingly well-written and properly sourced for a blog post, which also made it a very easy read. In addition, you gave a complete and total rundown of about everything related to scrum, so now I don’t even know if I have anything more to say about it. Won’t stop me from trying, though.
I liked how each paragraph covered its own topic (as a paragraph should) and […]

Comment : Blog post assignment 3

Hey Guy, enjoyed reading your post. I have quite a similar perspective being the lead programmer for my group as well, so this was quite a relatable read. I had the same overall hesitance to use scrum at first, since it made my job more annoying and yeah, it was a bit like a know-it-all mom telling me I should eat my vegetables, but after a bit it got better. For me it’s still not perfect but y’know, better than […]

Comments On Other Blogs So Far

A compilation of the comments I have written on other people’s blogs so far.
Week 1 – Sofie
Hi, I’m Emma of team Qilin.
I liked your post, it was an interesting blog entry which in a pedagogical way explains what you’ve done, how and why. It would have been great if you’d added some images, as it would have been nice to see what the final outcomes were. You’ve explained what you did and how you did it, which was great! However, […]

Blog Comments For Game Design 2

Blog feedback 1
Jesper Bergman: https://jesperbergmangame.wordpress.com/2018/02/07/blog-1-test/
I liked the ending a lot, were you reflected on what went wrong on your part and how you could improve as designer in future projects. The text is a little hard to follow when you don’t first explain how the mist was supposed to work according to the concept document. Because you didn’t explain how it first worked I didn’t understand the difference between the mist and the darkness, to me they seemed to be […]

Comment #3 – Gunnlaugur Arnarson

Hello Gunnlaugur,
First of all, great post!
The fact that you give the reader an in-depth understanding of your prior experiences with Scrum makes it a lot easier to follow your train of thought.
Your choice of imagery complements the post nicely as it depicts the generic Scrum process.
You have clearly described the effects that Scrum as a framework has had on your group so far. I do agree that the forced use of a template is sub-optimal for Scrum, especially as Scrum […]

Comment made on Edvin Broberg’s post 
First of all I applause you for your structure and use of language.
In this blog post you come with a lot of new information but you present it in a concise manner that is easy to follow. Not once was the red thread lost and each paragraph has a clear topic. It is a clear timeline on how you did the work with some reasonings on why you did it.
I really like how you […]

“Hej hej!
You provided a structured and very informative blog post explaining scrum and handling priorities with MoSCoW. I really like that you describe both principles in great detail and connect them to your work on the shoot em up game. The introduction and conclusion you give also create a good framework for the reader to follow.

However, there are a lot of technical terms in your post that could be hard to understand for someone who […]

Very interesting post! I like how you start by giving a clear and concise explanation of what Scrum is and how it does work. Even though as Game Design students we all know what it means, some people tend to have different views or simply not understand how Scrum actually works, so by making clear from the beginning what it means to you, I know as a reader how to react to the rest of the blog.
The overall […]

Very interesting post! I feel like you divided your thoughts in a clean way using these different paragraphs, each having their own idea while still being related with the others. It makes the reading really pleasant and allows the reader to get a concise idea of what you are trying to tell through your post and your art.
Grammatically speaking there is no mistakes I could see and overall I feel like you really tried to explain every design […]

Hello ma dude, I am gonna give you some feedback on your blog post :D!
Is it clear what is done?
Yes, you outlined what you did and the thought process that went behind it. The pictures you showed were super helpful to figure out exactly what your text meant and in general it made perfect sense to me.
Is it clear how it is done?
Kinda, I wish you had […]
