Game Elements

These articles thought me many things that I will remember before creating my game. Research needs to be done before creating any kind of game and also knowing your objectives. It is important to know who your players are and how many players you want to play in the game. I learned that games do not have to be boring or out of this world fantasy, it can be, but it does not have to be. To create a game like Minecraft you need a whole team behind you and also many developers. You need to learn your tools and make many mistakes so that you are learning something in the end. The theme is very important and I learned that if there is a game that sounds like it is boring people will not buy it and you won't get anyone playing so it is important to know what your game is and follow it all the way through.


I have a lot of learning and reading to do because I am still very confused about game designing and how people say it is easy when to me it looks like something I could never do but in weeks coming I will look back at my post and realise how wrong I was and I will have created a game and I will be proud of it. No matter which game I decide to choose I will put all my effort and time to make it because I want to learn the most from it.

Introduction to a future business owner

A picture of me :)  Hi, I'm Milena, nice to meet you. I am 20 years old and I love food, joking, well not really because I do love food but there's more to me than love for food. I can speak three languages, English, Russian and Lithuanian. I came to Ireland when I was five years old and got thrown into junior infants a week later not knowing any English and you probably know how that went. I did a lot of crying for the few first weeks because I could not understand one word anyone was saying to me but then I learned.  This is how to say hello in Russian and Lithuanian.  -Russian:  Привет (Pri-vet) Privet -Lithuanian: Labas (La-bas)

Game Vision Statement

Image
Projects: Vision Statement vision idea/design document     A vision idea/design document is created to present a plan that you have for your game. In this document, I will be expressing my idea of the game. I have decided that I am very interested in the game that would be called “Shooting stars”. I had game ideas like "shoot the starfish", shoot rings onto a big starfish, or shooting bubbles but I like the sound of shooting stars. The name "shooting stars" reminds me of the night, calmness, and overall peace. This game is all about relaxing your mind and destressing but also could be a challenge. The game genre is shooting.  The gameplay starts of with a beautiful dark night sky, some relaxing music playing in the background, and possibly some sound effects of shooting stars like some “SWOOSH” sounds or any other sounds that "shooting stars" could make. At the bottom of the screen, there is a shooter or a shooting station. The shooting station would have ...

Game Design

Game Design Public domain license Link to image Game design seems hard yet after reading a few articles you soon realised how easy it can be to design and create a game. In my mind to create a game you have to be a genius with all of the knowledge of coding but after reading a post by Angela He" From Zero to Game Designer: how to start building video games even if you don’t have any experience"  you realise that in order to create a game all you need to have is an  idea, information about what kind of game you want it to be and the purpose, characters, some experience playing games, and some passion.   After reading the class reading task I realise you can create a game by drawing a simple line on a paper and dividing it into sections forming a challenge for the character. The next step is to choose a character and the enemy for example I chose an apple as the main character and a girl as the enemy. The apple runs away from the girl because the girl loves apples and there...
