- Ian Bogost issues with cow clickers is the are addicting and time wasting because they always want to keep clicking instead of being engaging with another activity.
- Games like Farmville enframe friends because you can change what happens to your farm and people will see and if someone doesn’t, they will feel out of place, and no one likes to feel that way or have FOMO or fear of missing out
- Social games do destroy the social aspect because you’re on your phone I think non electronical social games like card games and board games are okay but other than that social games are not really the greatest I play a lot of single player games where i can play with friends which I do but also I can play solo and have no issue with it.
NO NAME YET OWEN CABLE
The way the game will work is people will take turns rolling a die and going aorund the board at the end of the round you decide how much money you would like to put into the pot
At the end of each round, you will spin the wheel where you are at on the board determines where you are at on the wheel.
There are different colored spots on the board were if no one wins the round it will go into a separate pot but the money you put in gets doubled you don’t get to keep the entire pot
you are not allowed to go all in till at least everyone has made one lap around the board I am making this rule so that people can’t just end the game without giving it a chance to develop
Game Review week 4 Owen Cable
Photosynthesis
I enjoyed this game but also, I didn’t really like it because some of the ways the game could have been played and it took us a little while to understand the game
Once we started playing the game I enjoyed it but i still was a little confused about the shadow over casting over the small trees and the fact that the game could have gotten harder didn’t sound right to me the game wasn’t that easy to begin with to understand.
Fluxx questions
Was the game fun?
Fluxx can be fun if the rules don’t get messed up almost immediately
Would you play it again?
yes I would play it again because I still need to finish a game of fluxx
How long did it take to learn
Flux didn’t take me that long to learn it took me longer to understand what a majority of the cards did
what was the interactive aspect and what was it ?
the interactive aspect is talking to the people at your table and deciding do I want to mess up the entire game with a rule that will make a big inconvenience
Week 1 questions Owen Cable
In your opinion what should every game have? Why do you like your favorite game
I believe that every game should have a story or an adventure aspect or a competitive aspect I have been playing a lot of Elden ring and College football 25 and Fortnite are the main games I have been into lately but my all time favorite game has to be ark because it has a good story and the maps are well made and there is so much to do.
List games you are playing currently
I am currently playing Fortnite College football 25 and Elden ring which is angering me at the moment.
Can you apply the 3-act structure to your favorite game? What is its pacing and how long do you find yourself in ach act
i feel like each act should take a decent amount of time for a good game but would go faster if you did them in groups you could split up the acts or work on them together
When coming up with ideas where do you start.
I always start with the design aspect then i will go onto the rules the prep phase
Over the course of this semester who would you like to collaborate with
This semester I would like to collaborate with Gideon, Evan, Carson and Braden
4D Final
Shadow Projection
I wanted to use to different perspectives with the shadows I wanted to use first person then I wanted to use 2d. My thought process was trying and make it kind of like duck hunt. It was difficult trying to move my flashlight and to make it look like the first person was looking back and forth while trying to lower the objects I would like to work more on this to try and fix some of the shadows.
