DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAMES

SIM CITY Build your own city is not only challenging but gives you a great satisfaction when you feel like an engineer or a mayor. Being aware about the basic services and green areas to take into consideration while building it, makes you reflect about how you want your city look like at the end. I like it but it takes time and dedication.  OTHER GAMES From the other games offered I liked POKER. You can bet without losing any money. You consider strategies and ambitiuos. Maybe these type of games develop our seek of success skill in our students. ZORK This narrative game makes you think a lot and reflect about how the story develops to get to the next mission.

UNDERSTANDING GAMES

I have to admit that learning while playing kept my attention at hundred percent even if now it is very late at night. I definitely like pong! What I learnt is that if a game is predictable, it will lose its appealing. So, the ambiguous variable is extremely important when creating a game. The uncertain outcome makes the player be focused on the mission. Another thing is that realistic images help to hook the gamer into the given context because when the graphic representation is changed, the gamer experience also changes. Check this commercial from 1976, Pong rocks! =)

GAME DESIGN ENGINES

After learning a little bit about the variety of game making tools, I can say that I want to use GameMaker studio and PlayCanvas. GameMaker has 2D graphics, the cheapest Pro version and does not require programming. On the other hand, PlayCanvas has a more appealing graphic design (3D) but unfortunatly for me it needs programming.  To be honest, I would love to learn programming to make awesome games as the ones in their webpages as examples. There are others good engines such as Construct 2 and Unity which could be a great tool too.
