class one questions and assignments

Getting over it

i have seen many people play getting over it and have gotten the feeling of second hand annoyance and anger with the narrator and finicky game mechanics. Its a fun way to frame and test peoples patience. i personally don’t think i will ever play this game.

Game ideas

  1. you have an egg and you just sit and rub it so it stays warm. once you hit a randomized amount of rubes or time of rubbing you can get a random chicken or a dinosaur, or any animal that hatches out of eggs then you can feed the animals.
  2. flipping a coin and then you get a coin after every flip.
  3. use augmented reality so you can collect the objects and people and other things around you and you get points for getting things.
  4. just having a drop of water on a table and you can move it around and also add water with rain or other things and take it away as well.
  5. the indominable human spirit – have an AI come up with ways to to end the human race or just kill the player and you the player have to come up with ways to survive as the AI keeps trying to kill you.

Questions

  1. Ian brought a lot of the time wasting and reframing of skill to mindless play to even having more of an incentive to pay money to get out of having to play the game. in cow clicker you aren’t really playing in the way most people think about playing a game. it takes no skill at all to click on the screen or a mouse to make things happen its like sitting and refreshing your email in hopes to see something new.
  2. making games like Farmville rely on friends speed up process and progress makes friends less of fiends and more of a resource. when you have more friends you can get things from them and the game awards you to have as many “friends” as you can.
  3. compulsion is the biggest reason why social gams can erode your time away from the game. the time it takes in between things can get in your head and cause you to focused more on when the next time you need to click or collect or feed something you cant think of other things. you will sit and get on an off the game hoping to the thing the timer is counting down to is done.

jam sesh test

  1. mostly it was the people, the game itself wasn’t ever frustrating, well maybe the amount of times we all rolled 12s.
  2. my favorite part was getting to make the songs and hear everyone’s peices.
  3. no, nothing felt like it needed to b added.
  4. maybe trading cards with others or being able to chose the key of your piece, but that would get very technical. also making it more competitive in a way, i know games don’t need to be competitive but it makes it more fun for me.
  5. having more cards.

king of Tokyo

Was it fun?

i had a lot of fun the mechanics and king of the hill aspect was very fun.

What were the players’ interactions?

very aggressive. getting to attack people was very fun and became the aim of how we played.

Would you play it again?

yes i would, we didn’t focus on buying cards so i would love to play a round an focused more on dealing less damage and getting more victory points.

How long did it take to learn?

it probably took about 30 minutes because i for some reason was totally missing a few things and also every on was talking while i read the rules so people didn’t remember all of the rules.

What is the collaborative and or competitive aspects of the game?

the competitive aspect is to try and kill the other players when you in Tokyo cuse you get more points to be in so you want to stay in. the collaborative thing i all the monsters outside of Tokyo can work together to kill the monster that sin Tokyo.

What is the game’s metaphor and which of the game’s mechanics standout?

i love the rolling dice to do actions. it made it very straight forward. but it also makes it hard to get energy to buy cards.

bonanza

Was it fun?

yes the game was very fun.

What were the players’ interactions?

trading and auctioning off beans was really fun.

Would you play it again?

i don’t think i would play it again, the game seems like it would take forever with having to get through the pile 4 times. we didn’t even get through one pile and w played for so long.

How long did it take to learn?

it started off confusing, because the trading aspect was very hard for when you can give away cards for free. it started to go a lot smother after like 30 minutes but every one took so long on their turns.

What is the collaborative and or competitive aspects of the game?

it was competitive to get coins, but very collaborative with the trading to give people what they need while getting what you need.
