Raft Sildeshow

Exit Interview

 1. Comment about your work ethic in this course. 


My work ethic this year has been better than previous years. I enjoyed this course more and in general put more effort into my blog and the assignments

 2. Which assignments did you enjoy and why? 

I enjoyed the Raft assignment as it was very interesting to try out a new game and write about it. It wasn't very difficult either which made it more fun in a sense where you could be more creative with building your raft.

 3. Which assignments did you struggle with and why?

The assignments I struggled with the most were the Sketchup as they took the longest to complete.

Raft Play 4

1. If I were to start over

From memory, first 10 steps:
1. Collect a lot of resources (barrels, wood, plastic and leaves)
2. Expand the raft by adding some foundations around so when the shark attacks it doesn't break your items
3. Build a water purifier and place it anywhere but the edge
4. Build a simple grill and place it beside the water purifier
5. Build a fishing rod and starting fishing
6. Cook the fish and eat it
7. Made a cup and make some freshwater using the purifier
8. Go to an island and use an anchor to dock and forage it
9. Build a crop plot and place your seed of choice to start a farm
10. Expand your raft and make a second floor and more stuff like research tables etc.

The best tool to make for survival is the metal hook. It is really fast and makes collecting resources and foraging double the speed of the plastic hook.

My Raft to date:

The best feature on my raft is my sail. Without it I wouldn't have been able to get half the stuff off islands.

Raft Play 3

1. What NEW things did you build today? [IMAGE]
Today I planned on building a smelter but I couldn't find an island to get the resources. So I spent the whole class adding on to my raft and adding walls, a bed and more floors. I found a lucky cat from fishing and I put it right beside my bed.


2. How will these NEW things help you play the game (TIPS&TRICKS)?
The bed is very useful as it lets you skip the nighttime making it easier for you to pick up stuff.
3. What strategies are you going to try to focus on tomorrow?
Tomorrow I plan on finishing the smelter and I hope I can find an island

4. Add a picture of your raft. (include a caption) 
Explain why you built the raft the way you did.


I added the half walls around to make it easier to still fish stuff in without having a wall blocking you.
