Play To Learn

What did you learn by playing these games?
By playing this games I learned how to be clean. By being clean I mean recycling and disposing of things properly. I also learned different ideas for my own game.

What kind of ideas did you get for your own game? 
Some of the ideas that I got for my own game was that I could make an adventure game where the player will have to go around collecting some kind of materials or artifacts. I also got the idea of how to make more interesting by adding time and creating text box to help the player while they are playing.

What differences did you see between the 3D and 2D versions of Malaria Prevention?
I think that the 3D looked way better. In my opinion the 3D version of this had more detain into it not to mention how much realistic it made it look. The 2D version of this game is not bad at all bu tit doesn't compare to the other version.

Which game ingredients would you include?
I think that then game ingredients that I would include would be all for them. I really think that the more things that we add to our games the better that they will look and also that the more that we include they will call the players attention. The main things that I will add and focus on would be the graphics that I choose for my game, I just think that the original and more professional look that we give to our games we will feel accomplished.

Course Overview

What you're most excited to work on during this course?
I am really looking forward to start working on my game. I still don't have an idea but I know that as soon as we start to do the Paper Prototype it will come to me. I am really looking forward to start learning the new coding language sense we are being introduced to it this year. I really want to start graphing because that is basically my favorite part of making the games. I just want to start in the game in general actually get to see my ideas "come to life".

Self-Reflection of a Year in Globaloria

Through the year I have noticed a really big difference in my gaming habits. I got more into the technology fields and I started to want to play more and more games. I never use to play video games in my life until I started to create my own. Everything has gotten better since the beginning in sixth grade; from my graphics to certain skills such as leadership and public speaking.
This year I am really proud of one of my games called "Count On Me" this game has a focus on healthy living. The character goes around a supermarket looking for the healthy food and leaving the unhealthy food behind. This game had made me realize how much my graphics have improved and how much effort I actually put into a game. I feel really proud of this game also because of the research I did I learned a lot of things about healthy living and how to keep having the right eating habits. After the idea of creating this game it made me want to eat healthy and leave all the unhealthy things behind just like my character did on my game.
When looking back into my old creations and I compare them to the ones I have created this year it makes me realize that I have made a big improvement! I can see how much I actually get to accomplish and how much my ideas keep growing and actually get incorporated into my games. I think that the more time that I have ever spend in a game has been this year and the evidence is there. I can actually say that this year was the year when I gave it my all in Globaloria class.
