Hollow knight is a amazing game filled to the brim with content seeing as it is an indie game with a limited amount of resources and developers. The game puts you in with a short cut scene and gives you only the basics you need to help you survive and your adventure through Hollow Nest, The game was very fun to play because I had beaten blood born before they both had things in common. It was another hard combat platforming game where you would have to go through and kill a bunch of enemies and then a boss, except for once you die you go back to your last bench you rested on you lose all of your money and you have to get your soul back, also after dying depending on what charms you were using some of them can permanently break. Your soul would fight you and so would the enemies around you this was a good mechanic in the game but very infuriating if you died in a boss room and you had to fight it there because if you die without getting your soul back all your Geo(money) is gone for good. The story and lore in this game is truly amazing but it is quite hard to understand because of this games lack of cut scenes everything is in hidden areas or backdrops or during boss fights and I was defiantly lost until I watched a few YouTube videos about it but that made the community for this game all the better with people analyzing everything that happens to get the bigger picture and speaking of big i'm gonna start talking about the world of Hollow Nest. Hollow Nest is very huge uncovering its map slowly as the player gets more and more into the game by purchasing maps from an NPC who hides around the map which can be heard by his subtle humming melody, that tells you that everything will be ok and that you wont be lost anymore until you reach the next area. The areas are huge with each one having a different array of foes with different moves and abilities. Its visuals are very good with immersive things that make the characters look like they belong in the game all the animations are very very smooth in my 20 hours of the game I have never seen a bug or glitch that breaks immersion. Overall this game is definitely a must play for anyone who is a fan of the game genre.

What I've learned while doing Photoshop. I learned how to do layering which was really hard for me because I didn't understand the instructions even after reading them. The masking was a hard thing to learn mostly because sometimes I would mask then inverse then try and get rid of it but it wouldn't work and it would make a vector mask that made it even more confusing for me. After I learned the basics of that I got through most of it until I learned that I would have to erase the yellow lines behind the image that surrounded it. I also didn't understand how to do this until I read the instructions and realized that I had to select the masked layer beside the layer and use paint to get rid of it. I learned how to use layers and the next problem would be the football player assignment. The assignment was pretty easy but I didn't understand the make it a 3x3 grid because I dont understand what it means and I looked over the instructions twice but I could be missing something. The work space manipulation assignment helped me understand the thresh hold thing a lot better and how to make the back ground change by using the eraser tool. Also I learned how to change the color of an item after using threshold you can highlight it and make it a similar to change a lot at once for the color. I have also learned what most of the tools do and I've mastered most of them. These are the important things I've learned in Photoshop so far I hope I can learn more.
To summarize -I learned how to layer -I have learned most of the tools |
