Just had another class of Interactive Design and Game Development and it was as fun as last weeks ^^. We first started playing chess with the LOTR theme. I challenged Cody but at the end he beat me, ah well, I'm not surprised since I was under pressure, we couldn't take our time to think. Which makes sense since it was during class time hehehehe.
We talked more about games and Jason told us new things like how things can relate back to fear. The different motivations and things like Risk&Reward or Fight or Fly. I think I have learnt more in Jason's class than the other classes I have had during this course. Maybe it's because I'm listening more since it's about games XD.
We also played Texas Hold'em. I was excited to play since I enjoy watching the world series championships on SKY. But when Jason said that the chips are our marks, I backed out. The game was so fun and interesting when people started betting big. At the end, Jesse and Jarred ended up with nothing whilse Dino had some and Cody and Ellie having the most. Ellie though came out victorious hehehehe. The thing that I got annoyed at was the fact that at the end Jason said that it wasn't for keeps ><. If I had known I would have stayed. But then again, if there wasn't a risk, the game wouldn't be as fun heheheeh.
Near the end, we had a taste of the 3 briefs we got and we began discussing about the game we were going to make in the future. I'm really excited about this, even though I know that there will be times where I will screw up and become stressed due to deadlines. But hey, it's making a game! My passion is much stronger than anything else =D. I do hope that everyone joins in when we do discussions. Because like, Eugene, Jason, Carter and a couple of others are usually in the back and not saying anything. I used to be like that I have to admit, but like Jason said, if I don't say anything, my ideas won't get through and I may end up making something I will hate =(.
But I think we will all do well on this project. Personally I hope they do a medieval/fantasy quest type of game. But that's just me, I usually go with the majority of the people. So far, 4 hours of this class is really worth it.
Though we are currently going on a bumpy road, once we all really get into it, I think our road will be a lot smoother.
I'm feeling rather nervous about 2 of the briefs, but it's probably because I don't understand it lol.
Come on week5... get over here now!

Good thoughts dude ... well written and well thought out - you're nervous about 2 briefs? Which 2, and why?
Are the discussions going well? I'm glad you're enjoying the class, always nice to be appreciated =D
Bumpy road? Care to explain that one for me?
Cheers
Jason
My first comment! ^^. I'm a little nervous about the Design Document and Logic Tree. But that was when I didn't fully understand it... but I understand it a little but more. Forgot to ask you about that today lol.
Bumpy road as in like, all of us are not inputting ideas, we tend to get sidetracked a lot etc. etc. But this is prob just me.
