Ah the 3rd week... and this class just gets better and better. Today we got to see and play Defender, a VERY old game. I thought I probably won't like it, but after playing it... lol... it was a little addicting. I can see why Jaso said that "it was the world of warcraft of that time" XD.
We talked more about games as usual but mostly brainstormed on our game. The genre, theme, the feeling we want the players to have etc. It was a pretty good brainstorm, I quite like the idea so far, of a person who gets teleported to another paralell dimension and his quest is to get back home. It's not original, but hey, it's very hard (or near impossible) to be original these days =(
Sadly as before, almost the same people were the ones talking during the brainstorm =S. Those who didn't I'm a little worried. I mean I used to be all quiet as well when I was younger, but like Jason said, if you don't say anything, you're ideas won't be written down or be noticed. Plus they could end up working on a game they didn't like.
Also, this is probably just me, but during brainstorms, a couple of people tend to talk to eachother about ideas instead of saying it to the class. It's not always the same people of course, but this usually happens.
Other than that, can't wait for next week! I, along with Joseph and Cody, nominated ourselves to be writers... for now... and we have to bring samples of our work next week. I'm excited because as a writer, I want to get feedback on my work to see if I'm doing well ^^. I just hope I don't get such a bad comment that it ends up me feeling like not continuing my writing XD. But hey, guess I have to prepare myself for some bad critics. Not every novel gets a good review ^^.
Man, I really want Wednesday to come soon, it's like the most fun class I have ever had in my life!... *thinks back to other classes*... ... ... yeah, my Game class is the most fun ^^ lol.
I wonder if 12 weeks is enough to make a 'decent' game...

Sometimes man, 4 years isn't enough to make a "decent game" :)
A lot of people are noticing the lack of input from some people, I made mention in class this week (week 4) but you can help encourage them too you know .. especially the really quiet ones - Eugene and Co ...
Any ideas for bringing them out?
yeah, I can imagine spending YEARS on a game to make it decent. I'm not really surprised.
As for the uh... quiet ones, I'm not sure what we can do eh... we could try every so often, stop and ask the quiet ones what they think.
But they might feel targeted and stuff.
Ugh, I don't know, let's just hope they become more talktative in future times.
