SUMMARY

Last weeks summary was abut workflow and it was about how to do a project and turn it in and ask for help and what things we should use to get it done.

PRACTICE ROOM (TUTORIALS)

I chose this video because it shows you how to make a game. Unreal engine.

CLASSROOM (THEORY & ANALYSIS)

What I learned from this video is that you need to figure out which features are gonna make your game really fun. You also need to make a prototype.

Game Genres from the Simplest and Most Difficult to Create

Racing Game
Top-Down Shooter
2d Platformer
Color Matching Puzzle Game
2D Puzzle Platformer
3D Platformer
FPS
JRPG
Fighting Game
Action Adventure
Western RPG
RTS

LAB (THEORY PRACTICED)

What I learned from the first video is that when you play your game you have to experience your games and see what is wrong with them and what is right. change the right things and make it better. What I learned from the second video is that if you wanna be a god designer you play all types of games even if you don’t like the certain game genre. Also some really important things for designers to know is that you have to set up the most important keys first. that will help with everything else.

OUTSIDE (CREATIVITY & THE BRAIN)

I went outside and I was trying to accomplish something. I was trying to accomplish to stay outside for a long time and make some friends, I didn’t really have luck since no one really goes outside now. But I went to this gas station and made a friend there. we exchanged numbers and we call sometimes. Overall it was really cool.

STUDIO (GAME DESIGN)

Idea #1 Adventure

The main character is stuck in a randomly generated map each map different from the last with challenges weapons, crafting building and pets.

Idea #2 Racing game

tractor racer 2020: you build and make your own tractor with different parts and tools it would be a campaign and a multiplayer game were you vs AI and players race to the end of a farm with many obstacles like animals and equipment

Idea #3 A scary VR game

you end up on an island after a fishing trip after looking around you find some creepy locals that tell you about a tall black figure that roams the streets and paths at night.

Idea #4 Shooter game

100 players 2 teams 50 players per team have to defend your base and attack the enamels wile doing holding down objectives to give your team better equipment.
