 Games MDA

Video-

 I always like doing these readings due to the fact that Shaun always introduces me to new YouTube creators making interesting content that i enjoy like The Last Bacon! He say in the beginning we should looking at other games (similar to our own) look into why people play the game , what did they enjoy. Find these by using the MDA frame work.

 

Mechanics

Dynamics

Aesthetics

If you are able to to identity the esthetics or the emotional response the game elicits from the player, you can break that down to the dynamics and move on form there. Then apply your personal experience by using this method.

He would l into many other topics such as narrative, Discovery and challenge. Theses all tie back to this method to decide what mechanics need to be applied to this game.

Over all a great watch. 

Readings 

 I found it very difficult to follow what these readings were trying to explain as i read them before the i watch the video , i am a physical learner and with the small grasp of the topic i got from the readings the video cleared everything up with no issues

We do this by changing properties of I and setting eyes to be equal to other properties entire to explain and I don't fully understand it myself as I haven't  looked into  it in  detail  I just followed the tu to rial.  This will only spawn three enemies off the bottom we still have to set it up so it will continuously spawn increasing numbers of enemies starting at one.     So  in order to do that we need to spawn enemy wave which is another method that we l

  Reading and Writing Looking back. Over this year and this  module,  I have done a lot of good work. and a bit of shoddy work too, my overall experience with this module overall is the following. it is structured and planned better than any other course of attended this year and me and the elder students appreciate that it made my work easier to do and easier to manage  yes,  I still somehow managed to mess it up .   I suffered from very  poor time management  and I think this is  because  I'm quite the procrastinator I'd like to do work in bulks which this module doesn't favor but it certainly allows so I am one who cannot complain.   I love this module and my posts on this blog because they've led me to develop so many new skills that I didn't know I  actually could  develop. I'm starting to take an interest in game design since I realized unity is  actually quite  easy to use. I realize I have a knack for writing out walls of text. it also helped me communic
