Game Elements
Hello
Welcome to my blog
There are many important elements video games and if I’m
going to be making a game, I should read up on these and learn the elements.
An important element to look at for a game is critical
analysis. As I read though a reading, I was able to see the three-step process
in analyzing a game.
1. Describe
the game’s elements.
2. How
do the elements interact with each other and what the game play is like?
3. Look
at why the designers of the game in the way they did.
So, looking at a game critical is
an important element of game making as you can learn from your mistakes and
other people mistakes so you can fix them in the future. From the reading I learned
the core of game is the part of the game that you do over and over in the game
e.g Call of Duty shooting is the core of the game.
I also read an article called “Formal
Abstract Design Tools” by Doug Church. https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131764/formal_abstract_design_tools.php?page=2
This article talks about how the modern game has changed compared to what it uses
to be. Like how the machines we play games on now are much more powerful and processing
is much faster now. In this article Doug talk about how important it is to have
a language for game design so we can discuss game making in a better way so
games can be made better.
Another article I read was “Where
to find good video games criticism” by Helen Lewis. https://www.newstatesman.com/helen-lewis/2012/12/where-find-good-videogames-criticism
This article talks about how big video game journalism is and how criticising games
needs to grow and there’s not as much of it as there should be. So, more people
can learn to make better games.
Overall an important part of elements
of game making is criticizing games so we can learn and become better game
makers. Another element is to have language foe game making so it will better
to discuss games.
