Brief Explanation of my game.

I think that my game will have a rich and compelling story. It will be filled with choices that will affect the outcome of the game. I also believe that my game will have enjoyable characters and fun gameplay. I will try my hardest to make this game presentable.

Coding

I am nervouse about coding for the game. I am not sure how to do it. It may be highly complicated but then again maybe it will be so simple that the simplicity will be complicated. hopefully Ill know what to do ad become exceptional at it.

Gloabaloria, Mid way.

So now I understand what Globaloria is exactly, and also what I need to do to achieve a good grade. To me this class is about bettering my understanding of technology and computers. I hope that all the work me and my partner will pay off, and we will also create a really great and amazing game. I am also looking forward to scripting and and coding the enemies and the enviroment to offer a challenge to the player.

My game topic.

My game topic is action. To me action/ adventure games get better reviews and a lot more players. Also it lets me have more freedom with my game, which I need to make it exceptional. I will also be discussing ideas with my partner, I will be giving him ideas and he will aslo helping me with mine. I hope that I can make a great game that students will play and will also learn from it. Also I will try to add a little easter egg for you gamers out there.! I look forward to the constructive criticism. :)

  • Name of the game that taught you the LEAST about its learning topic:Race to Justice.
  • What social issue or educational topic does the game explore?Honestly, The game is so horrible I can't tell.
  • What can you learn from this game?The ironic thing is this game teaches you what not do for your project.
  • What game genre is it? Do you think this genre is a good choice for creating a learning game? Why or why not? Sports, ITs a good choice for some, But not for this game.
  • Design Analysis (Does it look good? Does it clearly illustrate the issue or learning concept?) The graphics are choppy, And no it doesnt illustrate the learning topic.
  • Usability Analysis (Is it clear what you need to do as a player? Does it work well?)Its not clear what you must do, I thought you must get to the brick wall, But you cant. The game does not work well.
  • Suggestions for improvement. How would you change the gameplay to make the learning and play experience work together better? Make the controls better and also the concept.
  • List 2-3 things that you would like to learn how to do (in terms of functionality, design or content)This game taught me what not to do.. I am sorry, I cant post anything for this.
