Video Games: The Movie

Video Games: The Movie

1. What are some of the reasons video games were successful? What makes a game popular?

    Video games can be successful is because they are telling stories, they fit to everyone in the world, and they let people experience differently from modern life within gaming. They are popular because people are able to change how plots go, and how the ending of stories should look like. In novels, poems, movies, and videos the people are audiences, games provide the opportunity to let them be the editor of this form of literature. 

2. What are some of the reasons why the video game industry crashed in the 1980s?

    The industries at that decade discovered that video game this area can earn much more money than every other areas after seeing the success of Atari. Therefore more and more companies rushing to complete coding games, this decreased the quality of game, and this let them be clear that the thought of consumers at that time would just accept every game they made is wrong. 

3. Do you think video games are a form of art? Why or why not?

    The truth of video games are that they are a form of art. Consumers buy games that have more beautiful landscapes. Nowadays there are more games that are not famous in the performance or operation fluency, people buy games that they can take exclamatory screen shots. For instance, one game I played called Hyper Light Drifter. It is a game that there are plenty of players admire the company that shows the beauty of how pixel games are able to reach.   

4. What is the next evolution in video games? What are the challenges that need to be solved in the next generation of games?

    Next evolution in video games is the augmented reality, which is known as AR. I do not think wearing equipment like glasses is the final result of AR. AR should let players experience that they are freely living in the game they are playing. The specific equipment such as gun or remote controllers that held in hands. My predictions of AR are that there are machines that can feel people's brain wave and can be controlled directly from brain to games without any blockade and experience like the five senses in daily life.

Final Project Proposal & Journal

May 17, Thur. Plan: I plan to make a project about pixel art which I've done in start of the year. It would look like the login page of a game called "Hyper Light Drifter". High resolution, not only one frame, length longer I planned to have multiple frames and try to vividly show lighting effects and maybe have a background music through the whole project. An overview of your project. What are you learning about? What will you be submitting when you're done? learn adding vocal, have more effects on screen and maybe try some other new skills Links to the resources you intend to use. I'll fill this question in after I find all links I need.  A description of how you foresee adding in your own ideas. mega bass start and the GIF suddenly appear on the screen.  The main steps in completing your project (maybe around 4-5?). 1. Figure out skills that I have to learn in my final project (and learn them or have video links of course) 2. draw ou...

GameMaker - Asteroids - Part C

Game Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1R_4YPex2se7Le_A9l66nT61wzPWiiViQ Q&A: - What difficulties did you have?  I did not know how to spawn player itself my pressing R. - How did you solve them? I tried a way that makes restarting game work.  (but the function I used has been changed after reading comments i YouTube . ) - What did you change in your game to make it unique? How do these changes affect gameplay? In the tutorial video, I think that the player would still able to restart the stage even it has not died yet.  I viewed a comment in YouTube and change it to avoid this condition.  It works and now the player only able to spawn after game over.
