Day 11

Posted by Lindsay , Tuesday, May 3, 2011 3:25 PM

Yesterdays class was mainly about portfolios and our game designs. Over the weekend, we each had to come up with nine game designs. Mine were alright, but I had a hard time coming up with nine good ones, so some of them were no so great. Jimmy told us a few things at the beginning of class that would help us be successful in the future. We should be able to apply our designs to a breadth of applications, such as on tv, on print, etc... We should also have works in our portfolio that show our personal passion, not just works from classes. It shows that we have initiative and self motivation. We should also have a mastery of our tools. We need to be able to design for the technology, and be able to work with people who can do things that we do not know how to do. I think that these are all very good ideas, and I plan on working on a personal project over the summer. After this, we all shared our game ideas. Some people had ok ideas, and some people had some not-so-great ones. It will be interesting to see the different fully-developed games that everyone brings in.
