A look through the eyes of a gamer.

It's time again to look back at my class experiences so far. Lets start with the Flash. Working with Flash has been an interesting experience. I have never worked with Flash before this class so I'm learning a lot. Flash is extremely fun especially for people with a wide imagination such as myself.

Now lets Talk about my game topic. Our topic is Gambling me and my friends on my team discussed on what the game topic should be. We wanted a game that would be fun and meet the requirements which are it has to be educational and about a social issue. So we chose Gambling a huge social Issue and it teaches math so I think we found one of very few topics that are included in what I call the loop hole.


So that the end please wish us luck on are game and remember The Elite Shuffle are the master of crazy.

P.S You lost the game.

I guess I forgot to do this blog but better late then never right. Well Learning to animate the game was intresting and need. Because with our game we will need alot of animation. So far we got all the thing that we can animate right now animated some things might take some action scripting. But we will get this game complete one way or another. So to sum this all up we the Elite Shuffle shall do as much as posible with Flash to make the most awsome game Globaloria has ever seen Bwahahahahah!!!!!!

First I would like to say you all lose the game. Secondly I would like to discuss soud of games. The sound is an important element in any game and/or movie it has many important qualities. One is it sets the mood during cutscenes and important events as well as combat. Second it allows sound effects such as gun shots, explosions, clashing swords , as well as speech. An excellent game with great sound is the Final fantasy series. A trademark of Final Fantasy is the victory theme. This series is one of the best when it comes to sound with each city and wilderness from the first game all the way to the 13th game.

We've gotten to the point in the class where we are gettin more in depth in game design. We are learning how to make it to where people can navigate page to page on the game. The game is coming along and the class is getrting harder but it will be worth it in the long run. Sorry I don't have more time to tell you more so bye.

This class has been fun but difficult but I learned a lot that will help me in my path to become the next hokage.... wait wrong show to become a video game designer. But in all seriousness In have learned alot it will be useful in the future. So far my favorite thing about this class is being able to hang out with freinds and my least favorite thing are all the blogs. I never cared about the grading systems but this one is ok by me. the class here is fun like I Already said but I would put less blogs. I have so many freinds that would love this class I mighit have to tell them about it.

We finally decided what everybodys partr is in all of this. My jobs are Content expert/client ,Project manager , Visual designer , Content developer/web writer. Having all these jobs is not as bad as think especially considering I'm not the only one with these titles The Elite Shuffle work as one (most of the time). I am very creative and considering the game idea was mine I should know what everthing should look like.

My team has disagreements but we work it out one way or another. For example we couldn't decide what color the floor should be so we put it to a vote after seeing what it looks like so we worked out that problem. The Game should be fun to make but I'm really looking forward to testing it that should be really fun. Lokking back at when we were testing other games already created most were really lame. I blame the requirements that we have to go by so I thought of a way to meet the requirements and still make a fun game and i came up with gambling.

So here is an explination of whats going on right know so later.

Today we finally got out paper prototype video done. It took a long time to get the prototyping itself done so i was happy when we finally finished the video. I think we did a decent job but we could of done better *shrugs* but to late now.

The game is called "The Gamble of a Lifetime" I think it's going to be fun making this game but it's going to take some time to get done so we're going to have to work hard. I'll be sure to tell you when were done. Until the next time I decide to post Elite Shuffle out.

We finally made our teams and started on our game . my team is called the elite shuffle our game is about gambling and how not to let it rule your life.right now i think my team has an advantage because we have the most team members and that means we can get more stuff done quicker but other teams can still do betterr then us but will have to wait and see.

we ended up making a mini game it was fun until everyone started having problems and everyone was tring to fix it and suprisingly was sorta fun it was basicly a race to see who fixed it first. In the long run it wasn't that hard to make . I do play a lot of video games in my spare time I mainly play RPG's , fighters, and shooters I play these because I love games with a lot of action.

Today the class made a mini clip (sort of) it wasn't really hard but when you make a mistake it's hard to find where you made the mistake. It took me 10 minutes to find where i messed up with some help but everything is fine now thank god. Learning all this stuff is fun but can be a real headache sometimes . Making the mini clip was fun but it's only going to get harder and I'm ok with that.

Until the next time I post.

Today we had to find three blogs that had to deal with our game topics. Gambling is an intresting choice because they have their good and bad qualities but thats beside the point the blogs I found are intresting not only do they talk about rules and tips of caino games but also give an idea of what the atmosphere of a casino and online casinos are like which will help with the designing of the game. Casinos are they good or bad the answer is both please read the three blogs on gambling from the list at the bottom right and get an idea of what it's like to be in a casino.

Today we played games by other Globaloria users the first I played was Go Rabbit Go I'm not 100% sure what the game is supposed to teach us but it's a little fun. The designers of the game did an excellent job it's a game you can enjoy without being complicated but i feel sorry for the rabbits medical condition it's prone to seizers (hold down space bar it's hilarious). This game will pass the time especially if your easily entertained. here is a link to the game. http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/resources/en/play/Social/rabbitgame

The second game I played was Infinity Quest this game wasn't as entertaining has the first game I mentioned but has good art work . The anime art work is what mainly had me play the game in the first place the team that created this game would do a good job in the RPG feild of game designing . Their is on thing I would chang less math please. Here is the link http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/resources/en/play/Educational/infinityquest

Class is a blast we can all just joke around and nobody will care. Everyone makes jokes and just enjoy themselves because that is what this class if for to learn and have a good time doing so. I mean what is more fun then being able to play games for a grade and get a grade for designing a game this is the best class ever.

I'll give everyone more info later.

Your all wondering what in the world I'm talking about right? The answer is a simple as this Globaloria is a program where you learn how to design video games , use photo shop, design a wiki , and how to create a blog such as this one. The main goal of this program is to prepare us for current day jobs using technology and programming skills.

Most of our time in the class will be making and designing our own video game from scratch based on current social issues. My current Idea for my game is still a work in progress but hopefully my game will be a fighter or shooter. My main skill in game designing would be the imagination aspect such as story lines, monsters, weapons, and drawing.

While I've been in the Globaloria program I have learned some interesting and useful things that will be useful in my pursuit of becoming a game designer. This program will also allow me to get some hands on experience and will help me in the long run. I have many friends that help me when I have difficulty thinking up ideas which is a major help.

I hope I gave you a basic understanding of the globaloria program and ways that could help you improve your skills and/or ideas. I also apologize if I have made anyone confused.
