Reading Week 5 (Games DD)

I found this week reading very interesting. I was particularly interested in Greg Aleknevicus post about Design Considerations.
I liked the part of this reading about using shape and colour to distingush pieces. I never really thought about how much difference it can make to a game by using different shapes in addition to colour to distinguish the players amoebae.
I also liked the where Greg explains how its good to use different components for different functions. An example of this is how Monopoly money is different from the property cards so players do not get confused between it is obvious they are used for different things.
I thought it was a good point  of how it is frustrating when someone loses a part of their game and then is unable to play the game, so it is a good idea to add extra parts or cards with the game incase one is lost. I found this weeks reading really interesting.

    Hey chloe!
    Really like the analysis you did from the readings this week although I do wish you wrote a bit more to really show that you were paying attention and taking notes. Also remember to use spell-check so you can see where you made some mistakes in your post. Other than that I really like how you worded the reading and the notes you took from it. Hope to see more work !

Game Design Reading Week 2

  Designing games by Tynan Sylvester After completing the reading assigned to us for Week 2 I have learnt a lot of new things I did not know before.  When I read the first piece we were given "Don't be a Vididiot"by Greg Crositkyan http://www.costik.com/vidiot.html . He explained gaming in a really simple way which I liked as I am not very familiar of the different types of games. He explained how a game is a play activity with rules that involves a conflict.  Then I read another post called "The essence of Eurostyle gaming" by  Lewis Pulsipher  http://www.thegamesjournal.com/articles/Essence.shtml  , . Before reading this I had never even heard of a "eurostyle" game. I then read the post and got a better understand of what makes a game a eurostyle game.  Euro games have great visual interest, simple rules, no player elimination and the game does not take more than an hour to play. Reading this article gave me a better understanding of different ga...

Favourite Game (week 1)

My faveourite game is Super Mario Bros on Wii. I have been playing Mario since I was really young. I love how you can pick different characters to play like Mario, Luigi or Yoshi. I love all of the sounds added to this game like the noise when Mario dies and the game restarts or when Mario gets coins it adds a real fun aspect to the game. I love how every level has a different theme like level 7 is a snow theme and level 8 is a halloween theme.
