Blog Assignment 9A:

I think that overall we got across most of the points that we were intending when we gave our presentation. I think the one thing we could have improved upon is getting across the point of how isolated the player would feel playing the game. We tried to give that impression when talking about the ambient music but I don’t feel it completely got the point across.

I think the best thing we could have done to get this point across better would be to have actual examples for the kind of music and the kinds of sounds that would be used. Actually hearing these very deep sounds would make the isolation appear much greater that way.

One thing I think we got across strongly was that it would be fun to play. The premise of the game wasn’t entirely original, but the humorous design choices for some of the characters seemed to have people laughing a bit.

I think that mechanics are the easiest of those 4 things to talk about. All of the other 3 things are highly dependant on the plot, and if that isn’t completely clear then those other things become more difficult to understand. The mechanics however are completely independent of the plot. They can be easily explained with not only a simple description, but more than likely a video can be found that shows similar mechanics to that of which you are trying to create in your own game.
