Games Decisions

this first  reading for this week (week 7) the thing that we are thought this week seems t be the most important part of the game and it is flow in game design and this something that i have been really looking forward in learning about. the meaning of flow in game design is a psychological that can be adapt into a game to make it more challenging and fun for the player.

the easy was for you to understand this is by giving the breakdown 

present player with a challenge--> player achieves a flow state ----> Maintain in flow state

flow state is also described as being in the zone and it is when playing a game and losing track of time.

the way in getting a player into a flow state and is giving them a challenge and knowing their skill level so you know what level that you should set them up with.

also when a player first starts playing a game the thing it is good to have a graph for skill and challenge this is called the flow graph.

Also the finale thing in keeping is keeping the player in a flow channel and not making it too easy which will cause the player to go into boredom and the other thing is that having a state where it is not too challenging that it will send the player into anxiety that will cause they to stop playing the game.

  this week we finally start by working and planning our game, this image above is the first image from the game i look forward in trying to design, i followed some small steps that was given to us in the video and i was glad is was able to follow it. this thing that find very difficult was the idea i had before hand was have object fall from the sky but after looking into it i feel like i cannot design it very well due to the fact i find it very difficult so i decided to look into unity one to get my inspiration from because that is also close to something that i am looking forward in trying to design, so i decided to place to object in a way where it still difficult also what i was struggling with was designing my scene i was not used to this because the unity work we usually do the scene are already done but since i sat and looked through all of it i was glad that i was able to get it done . also i find apply the code that i want to work with my player it doesn't seem to be work

                                                                    BETA this week i worked on my beta and i was very happy that i was able to come this far in designing my game, most of the things i need to work they have already started working and somethings that i changed was having so many obstacle in the game but now i have been able to try and have i spawn it own it's own. Also i have been able to work around the double jump and the only thing that i am struggling with was having the game over to show up and having my game End but for some reason it is not showing up. Once i have that done i think my game will be ready to play and i will be officially happy with my game. in terms of meeting my plans to get my game is having a day for each things i will work on for it to look the way i want and how i want it.                                                                 image sourced by ME

Reading Week 4

  After reading through the first article what are the quality of a game?  i realised how much things need to go into creating an amazing game, and after seeing it i can see it is not easy to create a game that easily impress every player that plays the game. the first thing that caught my attention was what every game must try plan their game around is  conflict, goals, decision-making, and an uncertain outcome. Also you need to ask whenever creating a game can you answer these question fully and be satisfied ● Players ● Objectives (goals)  ● Rules ● Resources and Resource Management  ● Game State ● Information  ● Sequencing ● Player Interaction  ● Theme (Narrative, Backstory, Setting) ● Games as Systems  so after looking through all this i realised that it is not easy to create a great game like GTA for example when you look at that game you see how perfectly planned everything in the game is and how they have thought of everything that needs to be thought of for their game so in say
