Game Design

This article has made me more interested in game design. I would have never thought that game designers were artists and would have never known what goes into game design in a whole.
I like the part on iteration and that you need your game tested before it is made and why I do agree with this I wish that this was actually done nowadays as so many games are released with crazy bugs and need so many updates to fix all the issues with it.

 I am very interested in story modes in games and I like to always play games just so I can see how the creator has developed characters and their emotions. this will help me in my future work not just game development.

this article really made me change my thoughts on what games actually are I know that a game is A game is a “voluntary effort to overcome unnecessary obstacle. This is very deep and if you think about life is also a series of mini games that play out over the years that you are alive for.

Games are a “form of art in which the participants, termed players, make decisions in order to manage resources through game tokens in the pursuit of a goal.” . this quote from the reading really stuck with me . the first thing I thought about was people trying to earn money and make a living so basically games are an exaggerated simulation of life as a whole.
 
There are so many different types of games ranging from puzzle games to sports games but throughout all them they all keep the core concept of trying to achieve a goal to get a certain prize.

Overall this article has made me more excited about game design and I am more excited to go ahead with this module now.

I am happy with progress so far but I still have a long way to go.                                                 Sound and effects The first tutorial was actually pretty easy but it was really enjoyable. I had tried to add in sound effects to my final game last semester but it failed badly . this tutorial really simplified the process of adding audio to a game and made it actually really easy to follow.  I really enjoyed the quiz at the end of this tutorial even though I got one answer wrong which annoyed me a bit .                         ...

Hello guys and welcome back to my blog. For today's reading we had to continue from the research we were doing last week but thew difference was we had to a pply thematic analysis  to your resources and group common themes this week.   The first thing I did was read all the steps very carefully. I liked how it went into detail in discursive writing as that is something I am very passionate about, I used to have a blog years ago when I would be discursive and discuss manchester united games but I gave that up . I completely agree with the point about supporting your argument with evidence as if you do not how is anyone going to trust that what you said is credible  summaries to me are vital , I sometimes read the summary of an article first and that usually gives me a good outlook on if this article will be worth reading or not. today I went and found more resources online which I will add to my matrix.

Welcome back to my blog guys. I was kind of hoping there would be no bogs to do this term at all as they were pretty stressful last semester but I will get on with it and give it my best shot. This module actually sounds very interesting and I ma excited to keep researching and adding to my parts of the book. I spent way over 3 hours doing research for this. My two chosen topics are key components of game design and stages of game design. these are two topics that kind of excite me and make me want to dive into these blogs head first. the first thing I did was list all the who, what ,why ,where and when. these questions actually really helped me get a focus on what I was researching these are my answers who- I started my who by finding all about the people behind the games, I found out that first game was made in 1972 and it was all very interesting what- for the what part I went into detail about  what are the key elements in games . in my opinion a story and good visuals a...
