In your opinion what should every game have? Why do you like your favorite game?<\/strong>
I think every game should have an appealing appearance; I say this from the perspective of someone who is supposed to design things that not only look good but feel good. Though I think that there is a subjective part to art in games, both tabletop and video; I believe that being able to immerse yourself into the space of the game is a solid quality. Understanding this, my favorite game that I started in class, Stray <\/em>has a very immersive experience through the art. I mean, you play as a cat, in a utopian city, with robots that have TVs on their heads! The world of stray <\/em>feels deep, unknown, and very very large, making the player feel like they are just as small as their feline counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


List the games you\u2019ve played and currently play.<\/strong>
Until Then (omg its soo good!)
Legend of Zelda Links Awakening (2019)
Minecraft
Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Stardew Valley<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To name a few \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Can you apply the three-act structure to your favorite game? What is its pacing and how long do you find yourself in each act?<\/strong>
Stray<\/em> is undoubtedly broken down into chapters, as you finish sections of the story, and move to the next parts, a title rises up stating the name of the next chapter. Though Stray <\/em>feels long in pacing, it is more up to the challenge level of the play and if they are a completionist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


When coming up with ideas where do you find you start, with the metaphor or the mechanic?\u00a0<\/strong>
When coming up with ideas, I tend to curve towards the metaphor rather than the mechanic. I always try to put a narrative behind the reason why I make what I make, and I feel like it can often do more harm than good in my creative process. I think coming up with the working parts to make the final piece may be a better option for the ease of making a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Over the course of this semester, who would you like to collaborate with and why?<\/strong>
I do have particular people I enjoy collaborating with, but I also love to collaborate with new people so I can build connections in strengths and weaknesses from myself and others. I think it is important to be open to new things, but also be able to know what works best if trying new things is not an option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
