CAT 117 - Process and Interaction

I have to say that my weakest project was the Makey Makey. The controls were hard to handle from bad placements, but was fun to see players figure it out anyway and play-test our game. I'm glad that I took this class and will probably continue using Processor.

Now this article was much better and the balance it contains is really smooth. The roles of “high visibility Referee” and “low visibility Referee” kinda makes you smile a bit from how effective it seems to be. Even having high energy and low energy games cancel each other out, etc... The section where they explained “Extraordinary Games” such as tug of war and how we modify/warp it so we can define the outcome is really well put. Not only does this article feels like a great job description, it's more of an article and not a cult ad. for soul reshaping.

The start of this adventure was a little troublesome at first, due to long lines and only one guard at the front desk. But, once you get inside, you see all these awesome games running and people having a good time. The game I spent most of my time there on called “"Prison Break” I believe. You get split into 2 teams of 10 and while the others are trying to collect all the money bags to win and escape, the other team are guards trying to catch you to put you behind the slammer. Another game I ended up playing was a board game where you have a game master setting up rules that the rule book doesn't make specific or mention at all. It was... okay, but is a game, I would play with thesuite-mates.  Overall, the NYC Arcade was worth going to and I'm glad that I did.

I really had fun at the NYC ARCADE it was a good experience learning different kinds of games out there that interest me the one game I could say would have been the pixel prison and the your life path a deck building game which I really got into after the first 10 minutes overall this inspired me to proceed and game design and work on loving the game

BRAG game with MAKEY MAKEY interface: Anthony Johnson and Ronnie

My weakest was definitely the processing sketch four seasons. Hard coding is definitely not my forte and I felt I could have done more with the program but my own limitations held me back.

Dance Piece Iteration: Anthony Johnson

Unfortunately the video wont play so I had to use an image

Anthony Johnson NYC arcade: It was fun and I played many games. I went clutch in pixel prison blues and assault breaker. I hope to show of a creation of mine one day at one of these events.

“Our House” assignment 

Just something on Unity I made to try to make up for the assignment “That was a weird dream”

Over the past month or so, I have worked heavily on my final project. I believe that I went above and beyond what I was required to do and I definitely feel that it was my strongest project. I was able to take everything I learned in this class, as well as concepts taught in Intro to Game Design, and create a full digital game experience. It was also the first time I was able to create a project in Unreal Engine 4 since we were given the freedom to do pretty much whatever we wanted with it. I spent about 50+ hours working on it, and I am very happy with it so far and am very proud of myself in what I have created. It is a project that I feel has a lot of potential and would like to revisit it later on to expand on it. Even with the semester being over, I am continuing to have other people playtest my project as much as possible in order to improve it to the best of my abilities. I think my weakest project was the 4 seasons in Processing. I didn't really enjoy working in that program. Not because of the focus on programming, I didn't really have an issue picking up on it pretty quickly. But it felt very tedious and I felt very limited in what I was able to do in that software.

Final for Voice Piece

I will miss this class, and the time we went to the NYC arcade, this class was awesome.

Strongest project:I believe my strongest project is the instrument. I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the java programming aspect as well as setting up the makey makey. It was just an overall better experience. Weakest project: I believe this final project is my weakest, because I feel like is a very subjective project that taking my own point of view. And I feel as though I could not successfully complete the project. And I don't feel very positive about it.
