Game Fun

 Game Fun

I have done 3 reading listed below and I've learned about the different aspects of fun such as the 4 different types of fun. These include:

Serious Fun : Changing the player and their world 

People Fun : Having fun with friend in a coop game etc

Hard Fun : Achieving difficult goals

Easy Fun : Exploration, Creativity, Role play

There is many ways that a player can have fun in games which can include speed running games, achievement hunting in games, creating worlds such as mine craft, vr games such as Phasmaphobia. These are great examples of different fun that some people have when playing games. There is even people that enjoy watching others play games rather than playing them themselves. People watch others play games on sites such as Youtube and Twitch.

Ways I could incorporate fun into my game is by giving the player a goal in the game which can either be challenging or easy. I could also use things that I've mentioned above previously.

 BETA This week I made my game a bit better by giving it some life. I created a terrain that I was happy with after I searched for a youtube video that helped me create terrain. I really liked exploring and creating the terrain and wish I could have made the terrain in my game be more of thing everywhere on the map rather than having some flat paths. I also changed my car as I was running issues where it drove backwards when i wanted it go forward but when I changed to a different car that seemed to fix it. There is still things I want to do to the game but I feel it is playable and I have uploaded it to itch.io and it can be played if you follow this link "https://endijs123.itch.io/multidev-game-by-endijs".  Picture of my unity There is still things I would love to do in my game such as fix certain aspects about it that I don't like such as the car going through the houses, but i can't get the right box collider for it so I find it difficult to fix it as i think it w...

My Introduction

 My Introduction Hello. my name is Endijs Frisvalds, I am a second year student at TU Blanchardstown and I am studying creative digital media. I am 19 years old living in Clondalkin a good 2 hour bus ride away from college. In my free time I love going fishing or staying home and playing video games while my pet cat Simba sleeps in my bed doing whatever cats do. ( He sleeps a lot and I mean a lot ) My cat "Simba" I enjoy playing a variety of games that being story based or online co-cop mutliplayer. My favourite games from the last few years would be Red dead redemption 2, Genshin Impact and Rust. My future goals for my life would be firstly complete college and then get a job in an area that I enjoy. I enjoy graphic design and i enjoy taking picture but as of yet I am not set on an area yet because my choices may change and I think it's better that way. My favourite movie of all time is hard to choose because there used to be so many good ones. The top movies on my list ...

Game Idea Research

 Game Idea Research From my previous blog, I have given some thought on what I wanted to do. I decided to go with the following idea taken from my previous blog "For this idea I want the player to experience an open world like in GTA where you can drive around in the cars of your choice. In this game I want to create a map where there are coins or some thing scattered around the map. The map will have ramps and building with hidden coins. There will also be score which will award the player with coins currency which they can later use to get faster cars. An example of why you would want a faster car is not only because It's faster and cooler, but it will also allow player to get other coins that only a certain car can obtain. Let's say there is a ramp with a coin in the air. A slow car cannot reach the coin but a faster and better car can reach the coin. With the coins you can also customize whatever vehicle you have. Inspiration for this game are the stunt jumps scattered...
