Game Review

Plan
Write a new blog post with the heading Plan that outlines, step-by-step, your plan for completing this project. Be sure to include the following:

What will you do first? Why?
How will you insure that you complete the project on time?
Who will test beta versions of your game?
Will you incorporate other people’s suggestions into your game’s design?
How will you decide if you have created a good game or not?

I will start laying out the basic elements then I can start planing out the game

I will ensure that by working hard in class
I will get my sister to test my games because she is avable all the time.
Yes I will incorporate other peoples ideas that's what will make the game good
I will ask my friends to play the game and get there feedback



Investigate:

What makes a “good” game enjoyable to play?
What makes a “bad” game not enjoyable to play?

• To me a game becomes good when it is a bit hard but easy enough to finish. It also is good when a game has different levels and different scenery so it does not get boring. I also like games that have good graphics so it make's game play more real.

• To me a game becomes bad when it is incredibly hard and when it is impossible to beat. Also a game becomes bad when every thing looks the same and it is boring also a game becomes bad when it doesn’t have a sense of adventure.

Design:

What type of game are you going to produce?
What will it look like?
How will the characters be controlled?
What will be the objective of the game?
How are you going to test its functionality?
How will it be evaluated?
How long will you need to create it? Give a timeline for its completion.


• I am going to make a platform game where you have to defeat all the enemies and get the crystals.

• It will look like a figure(person) going around collecting weapons and defeating the enemies and trying to collect crystals to win

• The characters will be controlled by the arrow keys and the keys Z,X,C, [SPACE],[SHIFT]

• The objective of the game is to collect the crystals and to defeat all the enemies.

• I am going to test the games functionality by playing it my self and getting my peers to play it to find any flaws

• To complete the game it will at least take me a week to do. First I would build it then get people to play it and find the flaws and add on to it.

Evaluate

Describe your game (including a title).
What is the objective of the game?
Discuss two strengths and one weakness of your game.
What improvements could be made?
What difficulties did you encounter while creating your game?
What did you have to modify or change from the original design?
Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your performance during this assignment.
What did you do well at?
What could you have done better at?

• My game is about a guy who is traveling the streets of a unknown place and he comes upon some challenges like enemies who want to beat him, his objective is to beat the bad guys and to maneuver through the obstacles and to get the crystal so he can get home. The title of my project is 8 mile it refers to the Eminem movie because in the movie Eminem has struggle’s with the people in his town, and it sounded pretty cool to.

• The objective of my game is to maneuver through the game and to kill all the enemies at collect the crystals to win.

• My game is very fun to play and it feels as if you are the character and you are trying to win to get out, and my game is very adventurous. One of my weaknesses was that if you made a small mistake and you fell into the fire pit it would be very hard to get out.

• An improvement I can make is to add some more blocks at places so you can get up and continue so you wont die and have to restart from the beginning

• A difficulty I had during the building of the game is that I had trouble with the teleport system.. Because at first I thought you could you use the same color of teleporter, but it turned out that you had to use a different color of teleporter for each teleport.

• I had to modify the underwater part of the game because I didn’t put a light source so it was completely dark when you played it.

• I did well by creating a game that was a fun to play game and was an original idea.

• I could have done more during my class time and maybe have made my game longer.


At the end of your review, write three specific questions you would like a classmate to answer while reviewing your game.
Example – Was the level of difficulty for the game too high?

• Was the game I made fun and did it make you want to try over and over again if you died?
• Was the game interesting and did it make want to play it?
• Was the game to hard and confusing for the player?

• Jake's game is basically platform games just like mine and the objective of the game is to collect the crystals and to defeat the enemies.

• I thought the game was really fun I really liked how there were different dimensions and I thought there were the perfect amount of enemies.

• I thought the only flaw Jake’s game had was that it was a tad bit hard to get the crystals.

Questions about Jakes game:
1. Was the game too difficult?
2. Was the game too long?
3. Were there too many crystals/challenges?

• The game was not to difficult but it had its time where it was a bit challenging
• I thought it wasn’t to long because it was really fun
• Ya, I thought it was a bit hard to get the crystals.
