My Favorite Game

 

During November 2018 I bought myself a PS4 after my first job paid me, I never really bothered with gaming consoles before that other than the PS1 and the PS2 many many years ago. With my PS4 I bought a fresh copy of Red dead redemption 2 because I was a big fan of the first red dead redemption and Rockstar games Inc itself. 

Leading up to the release of Red dead redemption 2, I was initially cynical because I did not think it would surmount the success of the first game. During my gameplay I was pleasantly surprised by the level of detail that went into it. I appreciate a good story particularly when it comes to a game that you can play yourself. I instantly fell in love with the main character Arthur Morgan. Usually when you introduce a new character in a sequel / prequel to a game that has already been made previously, you're kind of sceptical because you were so invested in the first game, you don't want them to ruin the experience for you. 



Playing Red dead redemption 2 is a learning experience about aspects of life that some may relate to. It highlights how one's greed can dismantle a close family. I think whoever has played this game will always think back to it one way or another because of how impactful it was and still continues to be to this day. Rockstar did a really great job bringing back old characters from the original game to introducing new ones. Playing the game, I find myself discovering new events and scenarios even 2 years later and my favourite part is seeing Red Dead Redemption 2 videos on my Youtube recommendations and falling into this rabbit hole of freaky new places and people that I have to go look for myself. 

That's all I really have to say without spoiling the game but I'm sure Red dead is going to stick with all of us forever 😩😩💕



Anyway that's all for tonight folks, stay safe xoxo - Anna

An Introduction to Frodo (and me)

 Hi! My name is Anna Zurawska and I am a second year Creative Digital Media student.  My first ever year of college was a once in a lifetime experience and I'm so happy that I chose this course, it opened my eyes and it made me use parts of my brain that I didn't know were possible to reach. I never thought I would be able to find softwares such as Photoshop and Illustrator straightforward. I'm so happy how my assignments and projects turned out and I can't wait for what second year has to offer. I don't really want to talk about the pandemic because I know a lot of people are sick of hearing about it so I'm just going to show everyone my cat that I got over the break 😁😁. Frodo sleeping anywhere and evrywhere The first picture is a recent one I took, look how big he is compared to the second one !!

The components of Game Design

What is a Game, Anyway? The following consists of key excerpts taken from an article by Ian Schreiber. It aims to discuss one's definition of a what a game is.  Schreiber (2009) discusses that many games have similar contrasting ideas. For instance, dots and boxes present the user with a simplistic objective of whoever attains the most boxes wins the game. The same mechanics apply to Tic-tac-toe. Therefore, it is important to clarify the differences between games. A substantial amount of individuals have clashing definitions in terms of what a game is, but all have equal elements. The components of an enticing experience can incorporate conflict, a set of rules, a problem solving task as well as an out of body experience yet all require interaction. A game does not essentially call for technology for the experience to be stimulating, there can be colossal subsets to a game. A game may be as straightforward as "tossing a ball around", as Schreiber (2009) states "play

Game Design Document

 I created my first ever Game Design Document, I felt like the reading task this week helped me a lot on my journey. Dundoc has some extremely useful game design document templates that are nicely organised into different titles such as technical, sounds, game introduction etc. I looked at other students game design documents whenever I was stuck on specific things and I found it 100 times easier. The template looks daunting at first but I promise it's not as bad as it looks! Here is the link to my Game Design Document Here is a picture of my game design document (might have the chance the name to my game title) I will make several changes throughout the semester so I can fill out as much information as possible. Right now I haven't made the game so when my vision comes alive I will include screenshots and information architecture.
