Introduction - Daniel Catalin Popescu

Name: Daniel, Catalin
Surname: Popescu
Age: 19
Date of Birth: 22/12/1998
Starsign: Capricorn
Favorite Food: Chicken Kebab
Favorite Color: Purple

I was born on December 22nd 1998, as I said above, in Romania. Studied in Romania until 6th class then moved to Ireland with my family and started going to secondary school like 2 weeks after even though I didn't know anything else but "Hi, my name is Daniel".
I excluded myself from everyone and everything because I didn't know english which led to me being a loner and an introvert and depression and anxiety and etc..
Tried avoiding life and people for 5 years even though I feel the best around people.

I'm a really open person if you get to know me, so you can to talk to me about pretty much anything, or at least anything I can talk about, which excludes sports (football/basketball/etc) and politics (of any kind). I can talk about stuff like religion and how it is only a way to control the population.

My passions at the moment are gaming, video editing, music and anime. I spend my life on the internet, making "friends" on the internet, people with same interests as me, people I can either troll or have a thoughtful conversation.

The games I play at the moment are: League of Legends, Rocket League, Hearthstone, Fortnite, CSGO (rarely), Overwatch (rarely).

  • Naruto
  • Naruto Shippuden
  • Boruto
  • Fairy Tail

    Hi Daniel. You have a really detailed introduction which is cool. My history of moving from Poland to Ireland was pretty much same as yours - the only difference was that I went to a 4th class and had additional vocabulary "I don't understand?". It kinda became my motto.
    Also, I like that you included your anime list. I either watched or heard of every title on the list.
    Hope you are enjoying second year of CDM.

    Hey Daniel! This was a really enjoyable post to read, lots of detail too. Sorry to hear you had a rough transition coming from Romania to Ireland, that doesn't sound easy at all. Great to see you've a lot of interests, I'd imagine your gaming history would help you understand more in this module and in creating your final game. I hope you're enjoying the course this year, best of luck with everything!

Games GDD I have thought about ideas for my games and I ended up deciding on making a zombie apocalypse game. I have a few ideas on what the game will look like, I will have to work on the map design as I think that's one of the most important things in a video game, and I was looking at these 3 examples of zombie apocalypse games, also left 4 dead 2 being a game I really really enjoyed playing, I do not think I can make anything as good as left 4 dead 2 at the moment, and especially not alone, but I do have my own ideas on what the game design will be, it's goals and the gameplay. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_4_Dead https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_4_Dead_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_II

Games Decisions

Games Decisions I found the Lost Garden  <Link Here>  document really interesting and useful when it comes to thinking of games ideas and games designs. I found interesting the way the document explains things that are obvious in a way to catch your attentions and teach you more about those specific things. There is lots of game genres that can be cozy games but not that many genres that aren't cozy, like Horror / Gore games. Although you can make a Horror game somewhat cozy if you do want that, there is a few elements that can make a Horror game cozy like the art style and the use of color and also by giving the player a way to fight back the monster / killer / etc,  a good example being Friday the 13th, where players do have a way to fight back the killer, even though they can't kill it, they do feel a bit safer knowing they can escape and run and try to hide. *video of gameplay* In a Zombie Apocalypse game you can also fight back the zombies, you can
