This class in a sense helped remind me what it is that I love and like to do. I love playing games. I love tinkering with the rules. Finding things out, and discovering new ways to entertain. I truly believe that games are the media of the future and the product and the industry will only continue to grow.
This class helped me find that. What I want to be in the future, I'm still unsure of. But I definitely know which direction I want to go to.
This year I created two different games. Unfortunately one was put on hold for me but I do what I can to provide input. that game was
Lazercat y Laser Dog. The first game I ever made and one of the few things that I was personally proud to be a part of. This project is still underway and I'm hoping to make it into something big.
The second game I made was the Love Live fan game Umi Run, the one I personally designed for this class. Though I ran into some issues with my partner I developed something on my own. Problem solved and every step of the way had a blast.
As silly as the game is I'm proud to have made it myself. This class offered me lessons in a different manner. And reminded me of who I am and what I like to do.
In retrospect the class lacks some form of urgency. Unfortunately there are those who take it seriously and some who don't. The random RNG in the middle of class with the group projects and the group making themselves were really my main turnoffs. Twice I got placed into kind of difficult to work with groups. However that's just the luck of the draw I guess. Everything is a game, but to keep playing is the real challenge. I don't really know what else to say about this class. A lot of the information and knowledge was mostly known to me. but the hands on experience with creating a game was definitely the best. I'll keep in touch through game dev and such!
