Games MDA

Hello,
Feels like forever since I have been here. I am here to talk about the readings I just read and game MDA. From my understanding of the reading i think the  MDA  is the way it connects by the game design, game development, game criticism and the really in depth research of the game. I think these elements when making a game because that how it's formed. A game when designed is made into a physical prototype with putting together the software interface with different controlled experiments. The reading goes onto to say that games are different to any other entertainment because the consumption is unpredictable. This came from the article MDA Framework. by LeBlanc, Hunicke and Zabek. From reading this i'm not sure if I fully understand it.

My other interests in this weeks reading came from Designing to Promote Intentional Play. by Clint Hocking and i watched a seven minute video from vimeo Game development.

    Hey Micheal,
    It sounds very interesting I will admit there is not much information for me to go off but I like it because of the mystery and I think it works if you are trying to build suspense and keep everyone's expectations lowered so we can see the amazing mind of Micheal. Anyway I think that it will be good to see when the time comes and try not to work to hard on it.

Introduction

Hello to anyone reading this. My name is Michael Nugent and I am 21 years old from the north of Kildare. Getting into this my best class that I took last semester was either web development or photography. I liked them both because in studio photography we got to use the colleges studio which is pretty decent and we go to do different things with images. To be honest my biggest accomplishment in last semester was passing all my modules and having no repeats. Over the break I didn't really do much because i was broke really. 😅 My favourite tv series has to be 'The Walking Dead'. I love it and have been a big fan since it realised it 2010. I even used to get up early before school to watch it because it came out early in America. When it comes to movies I have so many favourites, like I love the 'Star Wars' franchise and the Harry potter also. I am also a huge fan of Marvel movies. My favourite character would have to be either Iron Man or Spider-man. The best fi...

Game Vision Statement

Image
Hey there, Just here to talk about my game vision statement. The game genre i was going for is like a platform game. My gameplay was going to be where the player spawns on a platform, the player must then jump to the next platform and land on it, if they don't they instantly die from touching the lava. I was thinking of adding that the player will collect a coin or something to buy different types of maps or maybe some different types of outfits. For my games resources i was thinking of having 5-10 different levels all the levels will have a different themes to them, like one level could be a classroom and another could be a house where you start in the kitchen and you need to make it to the roof. This is a link to a similar game  The floor is lava . (Source Pinterest)

Game Brainstorm

Image
Hey there, Just here to give 4 possible game ideas that I could be making over the next few weeks for my own game. The process of thinking of any game is not an easy task for anyone. There are things like what kind of genre do I pick?, how many characters are going to be in the game or even where is it going to be set. My favourite genre would have to be either shooters or sports games like Call of Duty. But at the moment my favourite game would be Mario Kart. So for my first game idea is where there will be either 5-10 levels, each level harder than the next. But the levels will have objectives like having to collect a certain thing like a coin or something but the special item wont be easy to get because there will barriers in the way that can kill you causing re-start the level. Each level will also have a different background, maybe i'll try having moving objects in the background. A game also needs sound effects, like when you collect the item you need to pass the level. It...
