Games MDA

Games MDA 

I learned a lot from this reading I learned the mechanics, dynamics and aesthetics they are also the three views of games I also learned that MDA is a taxonomy for models I also learned the properties of a good model which are formal, abstract and proven. I also understand aesthetics there are eight kinds of sensation, fantasy, narrative, challenge, fellowship, discovery, expression, submission, I also learned how to clarify aesthetics which are charades, quake and final fantasy and clarifying our goals which are competition the successes are players want to win and the failures are a player feels they can not win and a player can't measure his progress, realistic fight simulation the successes are match a mathematical formula the failures are counter intuitive system behavior, drama the successes are a sense of uncertainty and inevitability also tension increases towards a climax and the failures are the climax's outcome is obvious and there is no sense of forward progress.

I also understand dynamics now and how to formalize a game dynamic also models of game dynamics some examples are random variable and feedback system. I also learned about where models come from, understanding mechanics also mechanics vs dynamics and interaction models.

formal approach to game design and game research- I really enjoyed this reading and learned a lot about game design and game research.

Designing to promote intentional play- I enjoyed reading about how to promote intentional play by Clint Hocking. 

MDA- This was similar to the first link I read about mechanics dynamics aesthetics.

Alpha For this weeks project I have looked at tutorials on how to make a main menu and how to add inventory I feel like this week Unity has just gone against me for everything for some reason when I try to make a panel for the main menu and inventory it will not let me add images to the panel which is a big part of the main menu and inventory so I could not complete this but I have found a main menu tutorial that Jimmy Vegas has done which I have not tried yet because I have spent a lot of time trying to solve some of these problems but could not fix it so hopefully the Jimmy Vegas tutorial on main menus works on my Unity. Inventory main menu I have also tried to add some dialogue to my game but for some reason in the c script it was giving me an error and anytime I fixed it the error came back up so the dialogue was also not working great so you could say I haven't had the best of luck with my Unity today hopefully someone in the year can help me solve this problem so I can ...

Project  After many trials and errors I have final got a somewhat working main menu for my game it will still not let me add images but luckily from one of the asset packages I downloaded there was a sprite that had a menu title on it which will do for now until I figure out how to add images to my main menu I tried adding a cube and tried adding a image to that but that did not work either but I am happy with what I got so far even though it did take a while to figure everything out because it would not let me add my script to the buttons on my menu for no reason at all because I had no errors in my script but I will get it working eventually. Anyway I am happy that I finally got a somewhat working menu done. main menu. buttons and main menu. trying to add cube to add image as background.

In my first year in creative digital media I learned a lot one of my favorite modules last year was photography because I love the art side of it and love that you can be creative and express something through an image I also loved looking at different types of photographers and admiring their work I did learn a lot last year and created a lot of new things such as websites, films, photographs, posters and so much more. I am not too sure what career I want to do in the future but so far I do really like photography/Photoshop and I also feel like web development would be a good career to get into. One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is draw I find it very r...
