Game Journalism Day 2 - The Forest

Day 2: Today I explored caverns fought some cannibals and special creatures called Armsies and Virginias. They had rather decent loot, but what I was mainly looking for were creepy armour, which is the best armour in the game. I also found some extra loot like a change of clothes and some components to craft better equipment. The caves were rather dark and spooky so I found myself returning to overworld. There I found a cannibal village and found a place to settle down and build my shelter. Tips & Tricks Here are some cool little tricks I learned on my Journey! When cutting down trees, push the falling tree in the direction you want it to fall. This prevents the tree from falling on your buildings and friends. Make a torch by putting a stick in your hand and interacting with a campfire. This tool is a direct upgrade from the lighter as it emits even greater light to see better in caves. Craft Effigies, by using the arms and legs of cannibals,  with this you can scare off cannibals from invading your base. Building a base, near a body of water. This gives an infinite water source. Crafting a Drying Rack, This allows meat to age and not spoil. Crafting a Log sled allows you to pinpoint areas. Such as a base, an important cave or structure.

Day 1 - What type of game is it? The forest is an open-world horror survival game, where players have to fight against nature's elements and the occasional cannibals. Landing in a forested peninsula, players must survive by crafting weapons, shelter, and other tools. Beginning and How to play? When I first spawned in, I found myself in a plane crash, with the remnants of other passengers. However, resources are very limited and shelter is insufficient against cannibals. This game is a resource-based game, where you must gather and loot supplies from various locations.  To progress in this game is to survive and upgrade your equipment to survive against the struggles of the forest. In my next hour... I will be finding a secure and secluded location to build my base. I will also be setting up traps nearby to stop the cannibals from attacking me in the night. And maybe will be exploring a bit of the caverns.

Sketchup Lesson 4 - 3-D Print Simple Designs

I started by making a 25mm x 50mm rectangle and raising it to a height of 25mm. Using the measuring tool I measured where the shapes were going to be. Then when making the shapes I made sure the ones that were going to be holes were 0.5mm bigger than the pegs. Next, I pushed in the holes 15 mm and raised the pegs 14.50 mm, making the holes deeper than the pegs to give them room to fit. To finish I added my name and coloured everything.

I began with a 50mm x 50 mm square. Which I then raised 25mm. Then when making the shapes I made sure the ones that were going to be holes were 0.5mm bigger than the pegs. Next, I depressed the holes 10 mm and raised the pegs 9.5 mm, making the holes deeper than the pegs to give them room to fit. To finish I added my name and coloured everything.

Sketchup Lesson 3 - 3D Printer Designs

To start off I made a 1' x 1' square and raised it up 1'. After that, I used the letter tool to individually type out letters and placed each of them on separate surfaces of the cube. Next, I added a smiley face using the arch and rectangle tool. To finish off I added my name and coloured the whole cube.

Sketchup Lesson 2 - Rubik's Cube

/\ I started by making a 5' x 5' square and raised it upwards 5'. Next, I used the measuring tape tool to measure where my next cube would be with precision. I decided to place it 2 inches apart from each other. I then copied duplicated the cubes and arranged them into a 3x3 shape. Repeating the last steps I copied and pasted until I had a 3x3x3 shape. Lastly, I created columns and duped them into each corner of the cube. To finish off, I coloured the cubes accordingly and gave the columns a concrete-like material.

/\ Like the First cube, I started with a 5' x 5' cube which I then duped them into a 4x4 shape. Spaced them 2' apart. Then I stacked 3 more layers on top while keeping 2' apart per row. Next, I coloured them and added columns with rock-like material.

Sketchup Lesson 1 - Tiles

	I made rectangles 15' long and  5' wide and spaced them 3 inches apart until I got a 3x3 pattern. Then copied the pattern of rectangles and pasted it 3 inches upwards.
	I made 6x6 inch squares and 12x12 inch squares. I then copied my squares and pasted accordingly until It matched the pattern.
	I made 24x12 and 12x24 squares and aligned them to make the first row. I then copied and rotated them to complete the rest of the rows.
