Level 3 Team Project - Summer Post I


As the Milestone II deadline hits in three weeks time, I have decided to post an entry previewing my work completed during the summer break so far. The work shown here is still yet to be completed, however all documents will be finished come the Milestone II deadline on the 26th of July.

During the first half of the summer break, I have been performing research into human emotion. So far, two of four documents are nearing completion, the first of which discusses Empathy and Sympathy (the differences, outcomes, and importance), while the second talks about Chivalry in regards to empathy and sympathy (the definition, what it entails, where it is used and the importance.) The remaining two documents will study the effects of Ingelligence on Empathy and the effects of Similarity on Engagement.

I find it interesting to look into human emotion and also feel that by creating these four documents it can help us better understand them, something that will greatly aid us during the creation of our test NPC. With a better understanding of human emotion, we will be able to create a more realistic and belivable character, something that in turn will hopefully leave us with a more engaging NPC.
