Week 8 : Progress

Honestly I think I have progressed a lot in the past 2 weeks in this module. I am happy with the work I am doing but I know that I need to do even more because I am really behind. I have put in a lot of effort to this module and have been watching unity tutorials every night to try get a better understanding of how to use unity and how to go about creating my game, I am unfortuntely a really slow learner with Unity so I have to watch every video a few times to fully understand it. I have also been making notes on each unity tutorial so I can look over how to fix something in my game without having to rewatch a tutorial.
I have a lot more unity tutorials but I am confident I will finish them in time. I will just have to do a few all nighters but if thats what it takes then I will do it!!
I also have been set back a good bit unfortunately with the fact that I have to change my game due to not have enough time to create the Freddie the frog game.
Although I am disappointed with not being able to do my game I have come up with a idea that I think will work much better, the game is based on a pirate called Pete trying to find gold coins. I will create riddles for the player. The ridddles will give clues as to where the gold coins are hidden. they will be hidden behind trees and barrels etc.
I am really hopping that this game will go well and I am going to begin to start creating the game today!!

    Hey Chloe!

    I am really glad that you are working hard on your game design. I know how hard it is and its great that your`re pushing through and doing your best. I think the notes are a great way of keeping track of what to do on Unity as I often forget something I learned 5 minutes before hand. I really like the sound of your game. I love pirate games. Will there only be one character to choose from. You should add in Captain Jack Sparrow as a playable character if you get a high enough score, that would be awesome!

    Good luck with the rest of your game, I am sure it will come along great!

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...

Week 8 Reading

After briefly reading over my blog posts about my previous readings I think one of my favourite readings was the article called "Don't be a Vidiot" by Greg Crosiykyan,  I liked this blog post because the language was really simple and easy to understand, it was the first of the readings that got me to understand more about this course and what the content of a game should be. He explained how most games should have a main character, a goal , a enemy and a conflict. He also went on to explain some useful tips on first time game makers. After reading this article I realised that I should focus more on game play not the appearance or the story game.  Later in the article he goes onto explain how you can do almost anything with software. With software you can develop it and define it. Similar with games there is a crazy amount of different types of games. He uses the term "There is an entire universe of weird and wonderful gaming styles." This is why this is my fa...

Reading Week 10

I found this weeks reading week to be really good and interesting. I am really not good at taking critisism so it was nice to read an article about the positive sides of criticism. I like what he said how about how when giving criticism its good to concentrate on the things people can improve on rather then point out all the things they did wrong. He also said the main thing to concentrate on criticism and feedback is that its not unbiased and that factual. I like how part of the article he gives examples on the difference between good criticism and bad criticism.
