Week Two - Decided Project Idea

Decided Project Idea


Over the past week I have been thinking about which idea I will be using for my project, the three ideas I originally put forward was the game, the website and finally the network. I have narrowed my project ideas to just two, these being the network and the game.

I have decided to not go ahead with the website as I feel it wont be challenging enough, I have created websites in the past and have found them pretty simple. I feel for my degree project that it requires a more in depth solution and this is not that difficult, so this leaves me with two choices.

The game idea is a great opportunity for me to display my design and coding skills, it will require me to create a storyboard of what the game is going to consist of. Will it be a racing, shooter or football game? these decisions can be a hole problem of there own. I would then elect to create my game in Unreal Engine as I have had experience making games in that engine, in unreal I made a zombie game and found this very enjoyable. The only factor I found difficult in Unreal Engine was the AI, creating the blueprint was a challenge and because of this I may chose to use another piece of software.

The network would be a project that really suits me down to the ground, its something that interests me and will challenge me. It will be a real start to finish plan, finding a company, planning a blueprint, price matching and equipment purchasing, installation and configuration of a network and finally testing and fixing the bugs. Out of the three this will be the most challenging and will require putting in the hours, I know I will come across a lot of issues along the way but for me I feel this would be the best option.



Decided project Idea - Network

After some thought and now it has come towards the end of the week, I have decided to carry out the task of creating a network for a business, I have had experience of this in my past projects and have enjoyed working with a companies employees to complete the project. It will be a tough project to complete which is the reason I have chose to build a network, my first task will be to find a company with this desire and is able to funds my ideas. It will be a fun but challenging project, in the next coming week I will be calling round some business's to enquire about my desires implementing a network.
