Question Set 1 Week 1

  1. Every game should have a clear point that is engaging and fun. There should be enough rules that are easy to follow so it is enjoyable and doesn’t hurt your brain. I like my favorite game because it is simple to understand yet has several parts and strategy involved in it that keep it interesting.
  2. Board Games: Sorry, Monopoly, Shoots and Ladders, Candy Land, Safari, Herd Mentality, iKnow, Poetry for Neanderthals, Hues, Clue, Telestrations, Yatzee, Chess, Checkers, Chinese Checkers, Parchisi, Balderdash (etc)

Card games: Spit, Dirty Bridge, Uno, Solitaire (double, triple, etc), Black Jack, Poker, Phase 10, Crazy 8s, Tacocatgoatcheesepizza, Michigan Rummy, Sabot

PS2/PS5/Xbox/Wii/Switch/Mobile Games, etc: Minecraft, Fortnight, Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2, NASCAR racing, ATV adventures, Gang Beasts, Breath of the Wild, Skyward Sword, Tank Warriors, Blazing Angels, Mech Arena, Candy Crush, Merge Dragons, Fruit Ninja, Temple Run, Farming Simulator, Wii Sports, Wii Resort, Wipeout, Wordscapes (etc)

Misc: Jackbox Games (T.K.O, Quiplash 1+2, Drawful, Murder Trivia), Kahoot, Gartic Phone, Charades, FishBowl, Pictionary, the laughing game, Sharks and Minnows

3. Dirty Bridge Card Game: Each ‘act’ lasts a few minutes each and there are two different phases of the game each lasting also a few minutes each. It’s pretty fast paced and engaging

4. I start usually with the metaphor and concept or theme of the game and then figure out how it actually works

5. I’m not sure what this means by who you want to collaborate with but I am open to working with anyone really.

Game Design 1 Fluxx Test Questions – Kaelin Hartman

  1. It takes too long to understand in my opinion and not having a general idea of what your getting into kind of annoys me.
  2. When the Rules stack up it gets interesting (even though slightly mind boggling)
  3. There didn’t seem to be a way to easily win honestly, and I wanted to win so I couldn’t do that.
  4. It wasn’t super captivating somehow so I would want it a little more intriguing somehow – it might have been the design or theme of the game that didn’t really keep me engaged. Also there are too many words on the cards which makes it complicated and a bit boggling to comprehend.
  5. It would not be my first choice, no. (We didn’t finish so that’s no fun)

Natural Light Projection Experiment

Kaelin H.

I wanted to experiment with natural light projections that you see in everyday life. I chose to just walk through certain places and just record to see what unique light shapes or shadows were created by moving through different lights. Filming at night was also really rewarding with the amount of unique shapes and shadows and light tones and values were visible at night. Having the clouds in the one video clip was really cool to see natural light projection of the moon behind the clouds to see all those funky shapes and amazing colors. My shadow is also visible in many shots and its interesting to observe how it morphs and distorts. Using the absence of light as my main subject was kinda cool.
