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 faveourite article I have read from my readings.

After briefly reading over my blog posts about the projects I realised that I need to do a lot more writing about my project. Although I have most of my blogs done for my project I realised that with the amount of time I have left I will not be able to make the game I want in time so unfortunately I am going to change my game idea to something not as challenging. I've been thinking about creating a pirate game where the pirate has to find gold coins and there will be riddles and instructions for what way for the pirate to. I want to create a game with more of a story to it rather than my first idea where it was just based on a frog jumping from lily pad to lily pad.

Multimedia Project Research

This is my first blog post in awhile and I am ready to get back to the craziness of Multimedia! So far my team I just Becky and I. We thought it was a good idea to work on this project together because we are both interested in the same things.  Our interests are mainly fashion and music so we have been brainstorming different projects.  As we both have different skills. Becky is skilled in graphic design and editing. While I am skilled in photography and researching.

Comments and Feedback Week 8

Overall I have not received much feedback on comments on my blogs, I wish people would write more on my blogs and give their opinions on my game ideas and my thoughts on readings. Although I have not received much feedback I still have some. Stephaine commented on my blog and said she liked the idea of my game and thought that it would be very well. She asked me am I going to make levels or make it endless. For my game I am thinking of making it in levels, so when you collect a certain amount of coins you move onto the next level. I thought about making it endless like the game flappy bird or temple run. But then I realised that it might be a bit boring so hopefully my idea of making it in levels will add excitement and determination to move onto the next level. I want to make levels harder to cause frustration in players making them want to move onto the next level more and more. I also thought about not making it about levels but making the game about trying to beat your high scor...

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...
