Thematic Review






One common theme I have seen from my reading of the bibliographies that I worked on is the use of money in the gaming industry. In the first bibliography it talks about the gambling aspect of how the gaming industry encourages people to gamble. There might be features like " pay as you go" or bonuses if you reach a cert point. Features like these may be encouraging young adult to spend their money and could be encouraging gambling. In the bibliography "Role of Virtual Gambling and Gaming Behaviours" it talks about how social media and Gaming has affect on young adults getting into gambling in a young age in contrast to the earlier bibliography.

Another common theme I have noticed in the bibliographies that I have collected is that in the gaming industry is the marketing models that are used. In Nora's "Paid and Free Digital Business Models Innovations in the Video Gaming Industry", it talks about the models companies in the gaming industry choose to approach such as freemium, free to play, advertisement and subscription, while in the bibliography about "Innovation and Marketing in the Video Gaming Industry  " by David Wesley Gloria Barzcak, it talks about two different types of markets(early market and the mainstream market) in comparison to the early bibliography where it talks about market models.

One theme I found from reading some of the bibliographies is the impact social media has in the industry of gaming. In the article "Paid and Free Digital Business..." by Nora , she mentions how the internet and social media has revolutionized the business models because of the growth of these over time and in the article "Role of Virtual..." it says how that social media can have gamble like features like online games and that it encourages gambling. In the two comparisons, you have some insight on how social media can be a positive impact and a negative impact.

A small there that I have been seeing occur a bit was the gaming industry have some problems when it was a new industry. the article from what I read that talks about this is "Down times, but still playing" by Mirko Envirst. In this article it says that when the gaming industry was newly formed it went through problems that would lead into crashes in the industry. This was because of the technology and other factors. In the article "Work of play"  It says the industry was lacking structure which in turn made the industry and economy fail.

Introduction Future Gamestop worker/developer

                                                                                         Intro duction I feel my best module was last year was Web Development in terms of grades and how much I learned, however the module I say had the most fun in was Digital Media, especially in the lectures when we had small group tasks. It was fun to participate in them even though I always felt embarrassed to talk present the work we created in them. I think that my achievement was getting through the modules and passing them and being able to adapt myself to the virtual world when Covid 19 came. Now being in year 2 I think the I should aim higher in terms of grades and quality of work because I know more now. My goal for this module is to see if I can learn the skills well enough to make a game, and if I can achieve that would me satisfied, because it would be something I have never did before and that would be a win for me.

Prototype

  Hi Guys This is my prototype to Gario the game, what I found difficult creating the game was trying to make the game 3D. Because basing the game on other games that are 2D, I suppose this was always going to be a slight problem. That being said I looked into it a bit more into it If I could make a 2D game into a 3D game. The research came out that you could do it. I even found one YouTube video saying that you could do that and was giving instructions on how you could do it.  The first thing I did was opened up unity and then set the name of this particular project to prototype. I also changed the dimension of the game to 2D, after that I then proceeded to change the background in unity to black . The next thing I did was I made a file called Scripts so it would be easier to save later stuff what I needed to put in. In that I made C # Script, which I called PlayerController. Before working in the script I decided to make a player. I just right clicked and then clicked into into 2D th

Game vision statement

            *Hi Guys* I am going to describe to you guys what a game vision statement and then give you mine. A game statement is pretty much a pitch of the game you are going to create on paper. It should give you what the genre of the game is and what are the specific mechanics of a game and how it should look like. It should also tell you the storyline of the game. The document should also have the goals you want the specific game to achieve. The game I am going to present is "Agar 3d". This game is a single or multiplayer game that will be online and very easy to play.  Description: In this game when you start playing the game, the first thing you will do is choose what colour you want your character to be and from there you will then go start the game open land. You will find when you look around it is a square and it will be on grass land but the landscape can vary. You might find yourself as a round ball in a sandy terrain or you might be shivering in an Antarctic like
