Indie Game: The Movie.

1. What are some of the difference between "big games" and "independent games" in terms of style/concepts and how they are made?

The big games are games that made by large companies, and the independent games are made by a small group which usually only two to three people. Big games are more focus on PVP, while independent games are concentrate on playing by one player. 

2. What are some of the difficulties the developers in the film had to overcome?

Game developers have to overcome many problems. They have to deal with money. Many developers could not make a good game just because they are run out of funding. Also, the independent game developers have to solve many different difficulties on their own. Thus, they do not have time (and money) to social with people or even to get along with their families.

3. What do you think you would like about working on an indie (independent) game? What do you think you might not like?

I would like that the independent workers are free when compare to big organisation employees and I would like about putting my thoughts in to games. However, I do not like that I would need to work on a game that takes so long but still not sure about the result of releasing. It is like a gamble. 

4. What is some advice you could offer to someone who is trying to create their own game, based on what you learned in the film?


I would suggest that person can be more awareness to be game developer. My advice is that stay creating games as an interest. Due to the uncertain future of full-time developing games, find a job and create games at leisure time is a better idea. Also, the pressure of releasing game would reduce because it is not your whole career. 

5. For the developers, what is the best part of completing the creation of a game?

the best part for the independent game developers is to see not only people's review on game websites, but also, and most importantly, the game videos that how people react to their games.

Scratch Level 2 - Racing Game

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/188429538/ Instruction: Use the arrow keys to control the white car and round two circles to complete the game <- and -> are controlling direction /\ and \/ are controlling the speed of car (don't need to hold the bottom to keep the speed) Opinions: I set the background to be green grass and I followed the tutorial which makes the car to spin when going out of the range of the road. Difficulty: I am not practical to Scratch, so I have to spend more time on practising and copying some codes from the tutorial video. (I can't answer this question detailed enough because it's long time ago since I made this game and I forgot to post this to Blogger.) Changes: I basically changed the color and some details from the tutorial. (I can't remember much about it) There's an interesting bug. If I keep increasing speed and let the car running at the edge, I can still win the game spending less time.

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 ti...
