21st CENTURY SKILLS

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

As I spent the week planning an setting up github, I improved my ways of thinking through diving deep into the world we are creating, coming up with game mechanics, critically thinking about if we want our game to be 2v2 or 1v1 and solving problems of testing the games multiplayer

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I collaborated with the team, tuning the game to the things the team wanted and figuring out our future for the game

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

Using Discord, YouTube and Trello we were always able to stay connected and know what the other participants wanted

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

Further understanding a multiplayer system as a potential skill I can bring to a game design college

SELF-REFLECTION

Pick one of these types of reflection; action points, evaluative, intentional, or retrospective, state which one you picked, and write your reflection here…

I choose intentional self-reflection and some of the things I want to research further is map design and how that impacts the game’s play ability. Concept art as it is fun and open-ended while also able to make sense. I want to differentiate the current game mechanics and separate us from league or DOTA

GRAMMAR AND SPELLING

Grammarly and Bryce

EDITOR

Bryce

In a world where there is a deity for every concept, from the cast of characters one needs to fight the other to prevent the demands from the other from happening

The protagonist is the character you are playing as

Pvp MOBA 1v1/2v2 game

Not really a story game but to lane for more resources expand that lead into objectives and win the game

In this fantasy setting, deities represent specific concepts, objects, or ideas, with only one deity per concept. Duels, held in a standardized arena, are a common sport for gaining clout or settling disputes, with varying stakes set by the participants. Elder deities, who embody fundamental concepts tied to humanity’s perception, sponsor new deities by bestowing powers based on their chosen concepts. Mortals, aware that magic and the world evolve based on human beliefs, often invent and discover new things in hopes of being chosen as a deity.

The elders strive to represent the human experience, evolving alongside and the world around humanity’s changing beliefs, which also causes the world to shift. Deities are replaced when they no longer adequately embody their concept as it shifts. The longer deities stay away from the mortal world, the more detached and monstrous they become. The city-like divine realm, with its shifting borders and sections, reflects these constant changes, while deities serve as stabilizers to prevent their concepts from becoming warped. Elders, however, cannot be destroyed, only evolved.

Skills Commentary

I demonstrated the ability to create a working time manager by using time scripts in Unity and using them in the clock script.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I used critical thinking to come up with ways to make things that affect the game manager while also navigating through Bryce’s other code. I created a layout to be appealing to the eye, which took a bit of work.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

We have a group chat in Discord to communicate absences and collaborate in class, telling everyone what needs to get done.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I used youtube, unity, discord, and pixil art to create backgrounds for our game

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

I worked with others effectively while staying on task and getting things done through much school work

Reactions to the Final Version

Hunter was impressed with the completeness of our game, as it was very polished for the content we had, making it difficult to critique many parts. It would help to add a title to our start screen.

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

I am happy with the way things came together towards the end. I was worried about how the progress was going or the enjoyment of the play. It ended up being good, though I could have definitely done better when it came to the main menu scene or settings.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

When creating a level up menu for our game there was a lot of thought that went into it. Knowing what would be appealing to the player while also having things be balanced so certain things were much stronger than others was a large priority. I also had to do a lot of problem solving when it came to the level up menu as it was one of my first projects that was not following a tutorial, with even my training source not being helpful in the end.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I communicated a lot with the people on my team as I always do. I talked a lot to our level designer to make sure the game was properly balanced. With the artists I needed various sprites and fonts to implement into my code. By communicating with them I was able to make the game look much better.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I used Unity, Visual Studio Code, and Github to do the main portions of work, though I used many other sources such as unity documentation and YouTube to help with errors and concepts I had. Trello also helped a lot to keep track of ideas and work that I had to do.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

Working and finishing up this game has prepared me for a potential career in the game design work field. Additionally, it increased my understanding over Unity’s C# engine. I can also apply many of the organization skills I learned in other areas of my life, such as using Trello to write important tasks down and complete them on my own time.

Reactions to the Final Version

“The game would do well at the game competition. I would like to see a copy of the game. Also have the camera not drift off into the void and constrain it to the main arena” -Jim

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

I am happy with how the game turned out. It is easily my biggest full game and I can see the progress of my skillset.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

I thought during this session to implement (not the art) a functioning and adjustable menu screen. I had to get creative at times, as it was difficult to function under certain conditions without things such as art or a down version control. Innovation is something I worked on with the health bar, as I was able.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I collaborated with my team in new ways this session, as there was a long break within the session. Over the break, I committed to working on a game jam and giving myself a break, and I talked to my team and made sure that was okay as my time outside of school would be a lot lower. This also continued after the break, as I am doing all of algebra 2 and pre-calculus in one quarter. All of this will make me only be able to work within this class while still being productive with my team.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

In my game design class, I used info and media literacy skills to help me do things such as handling EXP and UI elements, so basically anything excluding AI in Unity. My understanding of information and media sources such as YouTube and Unity Documentation massively helps in making game play mechanics. My work showed a foundation in media literacy, contributing significantly to the overall success of the game design project.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

Participating in a game design class offers valuable skills with broad applications that can be used throughout my life. Through this experience, problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork are and will be crucial skills I have developed in this session. Designing engaging player experiences requires adaptability and problem-solving for when things go wrong. Making an effective UI system also helps with that, as it was a big challenge for me personally. Overall, this class has helped me with many skills for my life, especially a career in game design.

Reactions to the Final Version

“I am excited to see where it goes from what it is” -Spencer J

Self-Evaluation of Final Version

I am excited to continue working on this as it is a fun project and lots of room for growth
