Blogging with game design

I myself do not think we should have to blog about our game. The globaloria teachers urge blogging so much when it's not even a big deal. Blogging is just writing about your feelings or how you feel towards something, and in this case we are talking about our game, if we feel good and satisfied with our game then that's all we should have to put but instead we have this rubric to follow which is basically putting a restriction on how less we can feel towards our game which is really stupid in my opinion.

In Preparation

In preparation for our game Katie and I are going to start making a powerpoint presentation showing the fun facts about our game. I will post more updates as we proceed with the creation of our presentation.

Todays Catastrophes

In the past couple of months the world has seen many problems, from the earthquake is Hati to the mine disaster here in West Virginia. It is very unfortunate for everyone that these things are happening. Even though we can prevent somethings from happening, we cannot stop the earth from changing. We live on earth so we have to put up with whatever earth wants to do. Tectonic plates are moving, shore lines are receeding, and valcanoes are forming. These are all natural causes. I feel that we are blessed to live here on earth so therfore we will have to deal with somethings that happen.

Adding animation

Today during animation I made my red ball cross the screen at a nice slow flow.

Creating the interactive button

When I was creating the interactive button I didnt find it very difficult thanks to the videos. Once i mastered the making of the button I started getting a little creative with it and changed its shape, size. and color.

Frames & Keyframes

I intend on using frames to edit my game in an orderly way. A keyframe (un-edited) has a hollow circle, this indecates that the frame is a keyframe and has no content in it. A keyframe(edited) is a gray circle which indicates their is content in the frame.

Importance of the paper prototype

The paper prototype is very important because it is basically your game, just on paper. This allows you to experiment with your settings and other parts of your game.

Mini game Tutorial

The mini game tutorial was some what hard but I love to have a challenge. At first I was stuck but once I read on I found out how to do it. I look forward to making our own game in the future.

Chris Knapps Blog

Today I looked at Chris Knapp's Blog and I found that he seems interested in this class and the game we will make he just doesn't seem sure about the genre of the game.

Game topic

The game genre I chose was shooter. I chose shooter because that is my favorite type of game to play. Even though it is about shooting i plan to make it educational.

Games

Today i played a few games and i would like to share them with you.
The first game i played was Ayati the cost of life. This game showes you the way of life is in Haiti. Throughout the game family members have the chance to make money and go to school, but at the same time you can get sick, and the game is just like real-life,you have to pay for everything you do.I thought this game was well disigned and is very interesting. http://ayiti.newzcrew.org/ayitiunicef/

The second game i played was Darfur is dieing, this game showes you how a little village in Africa works, the elders have to stay in the village while young boys and girls go get water.When they go out they have the chance of getting caught by the Janjaweed Malitia. http://www.darfurisdying.com/
