Ah, yet another Gaming Class has finished today and this time it was a little bit more serious.
We started appointing the REAL teams. One by one we stood up and said what our number 1 choice was and what we hated to be in. I chose Writer as my number 1 choice of course ^^. We mostly sorted out teams, what we had to do as a team, how things will work and so forth. All the information we needed on what it means to work as a team.
At the near end, I only ended up doing writing. I thought that this was pretty "cheap" for me, having only one task and thought I would do another one so I can pull a little more of my weight around (if that even makes sense). Anywhos, I decided to join the Art team. Why you ask? Well I may not be an artist, but I believe I am capable of designing wicked characters, buildings and the such. I'm writer, so it should be natural for me to be able to design things like this ^^.
That was mostly it. Oh Joseph and I tried out a text based game called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy game. Boy, it was hard and annoying because for starters, you sort of have to be careful of the words you type into the game and second, it was a game where you sort of required some knowledge of either the book or movie. But that's what I think XD
I think this is going to be great. I'm so excited at a couple of things. 1) I'm in the story team; 2) I'm in the art team, designing characters and such; 3) We need a name for the game (For all those who are not familiar with me (and that's a LOT) I love to make up names on the spot)); 4) I'm doing my part in creating what will be an AWESOME GAME!!!!
Also, I saw on one of the computers, above what was going to be the Game Name, a company name. Hehehe, that will be so cool if we get to name our "company". Make it sound professional and stuff ^^
Well, my task so far is to try designing three of the many characters in the game so Dino and his team can decide who's style we should stick with. Another one of my task is too meet up with the other 3 writers on Sunday to "clean up" the story and create the logic puzzles along the way.
Man, this class was WAY more than I expected! I thought it was going to be awesome, you know, working on a game. But now, it's just jaw-dropping, show-stopping, heart-pumpingly AWESOME!!!
So... excited... o.O
LMAO, I should cut down on how many times I talk about how I love this course.
Also, another contributor to how cool the class is, is the tutor Jason. No, I'm not sucking up or kissing ass... it's true. Unlike other tutors I have been with, Jason is the one who REALLY knows what he is talking about since he has been playing games for (according to him) around 30 years. So every single thing that he says is accurate and true. I'm quite impressed at his knowledge about the field as well.
Hehehehe, well until next time!
