Game Topics

Even though I have my game  topic, how about I talk about a few that I thought about before I was sold on my own game idea.

1.) Road and bridge build was something I really like because here in West Virginia it is essential to have good roads and bridges to last the winters here. Another reason I thought it would be good was I thought it would be cool to show how much work it takes to really build a road or a bridge, but finally when I started to cut ideas I just couldn't work out all of the details, so I abandoned this game idea.
2.) Building energy efficient cars was one of my crazier ideas, but I thought if I could pull it off it would be an awesome game to make and to play. When I began to think of how I could do it, I realized how hard it was going to be and that it would be impractical. That idea, even though it was my favorite, was scrapped very early.
3.) I think something that is very important to my town is mining safety, so I really wanted to do a game on mining safety. My neighbor in class had the same idea, but his idea for how to do it was way better. Even though I was not able to do the game myself his team is definitely going the right way with the project, so I knew it would be best for me to simply let him have that idea and find another.
4.) Plane design was something fun to think about because aerodynamics is just super cool; I really wanted to make a game were the player would design a plane and fly it in different conditions. I imagined that it would be a game of physics but also a civic matter because planes are a big part of American society, and their speed and safety are very important to anyone that flies for work or for  family.
5.) One idea that I like but knew no way to find solid information on the subject was deep sea harvesting. I had watched a show on the Discovery channel about it and thought to myself how awesome it was; the basic principle is to take algae and other things that grow in the deep sea and harvest them for energy purpose. The real kicker is they actually work! If I could have gotten the facts about how it is done, I would have definitely picked that game to be my game topic.

Alas! I have come to the end of my blog, so thanks for listening and subscribe! PS Have a Merry Christmas!

Paper Prototyping

It has been awhile since my last blog post, so I need to catch up you guys on what has been going on. So I have been work more on planning my game lately, and trying to get all the finer points of the game worked out; I have sort of been neglecting my blog and wiki, but I'm not a big fan of either one. Now that I have complained let's get to the real stuff! The prototyping was fun for most of my team, but for me it was just a nightmare because I possess no drawing ability. Anyways we have it all work out now, and I will be posting it on my wiki team page and on here shortly. Christmas break has come, so don't expect me to be putting it on here until January.

SYNOPSIS!!!

B.A.L.L.S.

Yes, that is the name of my team this year in Globaloria: I love it. So I will add my synopsis somewhere on here for you guys in a seperate blog, okay? For now I am just really excited about our game idea and what all is going to take place as we try to make a great game; I hope kids can play it for educational purposes and to just flat out have fun. We haven't really started making the game, so I have no idea why the wiki would want to know my favorite part of the game, go figure. Well guys enjoy making your games, enjoy life, and make some awesome games!

GAME TIME!!!

So we started working on the mini game, and it was a pretty fun activity all in all. I though it was very easy; I actually helped a lot of my classmates work on their games too. I am really excited about starting my actual game and seeing all of the possibilities.

Physics.... OoO

Hi, so this post is about my topic which is physics. To be more specific I want to make a game about Newton's first and second laws of motion; I am hoping I can think of an interesting game with this subject, maybe. I am adding a new blogroll with some links I thought were helpful if anyone wants to check them out I should have them right underneath my first blogroll.

About my last post.

In my last post, I didn't really tell why I thought Gravitee was my favorite game; now it is time to explain my thought process to the people! I really enjoyed the game because it taught its material in a fun way that other games could just not match. It was fun to play, and as a gamer I wanted to play it more and more. It also gave me hope that I will be able to make my own game fun and exciting for gamers. On a side note, I think I have decided to work in the area of physics for my game. 

IN MY OPINION BEST GAME!!!

Strategy/Sim

After playing the games, I feel like the genre I want to design my game after is strategy/sim; I like the idea of making a game that challenges the player mentally, but I also figured out that it is going to be difficult to design a game that will be challange mentally and fun for the player. I need to really start thinking hard on where my STEM game is going and what paths I want to take.

Globaloria and STEM

So Logan High has been selected to make a STEM game for anyone that cares. ha ha. We are finally starting to get into talking about game ideas and how we are going to go about the whole process; I'm excited! Well there will be more to come now I need to set up my blog roll. Thanks and remember to follow!

To wiki or not to wiki?

Well I have finally started to get the hang of how to edit the wiki using html which has made me very happy. It is actually really easy to do once I figured out all of the different codes and after that I flew through all of the steps of personalizing my wiki. I really do not like the fact the school system blocks YouTube, it has really impaired my ability to find a video that I can actually view on the school's Internet. Other than that I added lots of images that tell about my likes and my personality so that was fun to do. I don't really have anything else to add for now so this is end of this post. Thanks for reading! Don't forget to follow the blog.

So here's the deal.

So as many of you may know this blog is for the class GLOBALORIA (oh yeah that is all caps) which I have 4th period here at LHS. The class is going pretty well so far, surprisingly. The progress has been slow but that is what always happens when there is a time line, oh well. There will be much more to come so make sure you follow my blog. Thanks!

Hello World!!!!
