For the second stage of this module I’ve decided to make my research topic the Coast.

It encompasses my two research themes: geology and coastal Gothic. However, as I study the shores, I think an area of focus I’ll linger on will be about coastal ecosystems, particularly tidepools as I had a fondness for them growing up.

I began with mindmapping further ideas. As this is a very broad topic, geographically the idea of the coast has been limited to the British Isles. But within that, I want to ask research questions in order to structure and add intention to the things that I’m learning. So I began to produce as many of these possible questions as possible and decided to choose the 3 main ones I’d cover.

In the meantime, I also want to be strengthening my game design skills. I plan to make some small games in godot, mainly recreating basic ones in order to develop my ability to code and understand how I will plan and make my ideas when we reach that phase in the module. As I already have experience in Godot, I want to do the project in there. I also want to stick to a 2D game as it’s a lot simpler and less stressful to do.
