My Game Decisions

Hi Guys,

Welcome back to my blog! Today I will be talking about Lost Garden

In this article I learnt about MMO which is making a multiplayer game online. This article is very very detailed and took a while to read and know exactly what they were talking about. From this I got the understanding behind the process on making a multiplayer game. Each game that is made and sold on the market has to take into consideration about multiplayer as it can have technical issues.

This article made me realize that maybe having a game that includes many different players is not always a positive. One main factor to multiplayer games is friendships. When playing games with friends you want to be on the same team or against one another. When forming a friendship there are 4 aspects which are important. They are Proximity, Similarity, Reciprocity and Disclosure.
I've learnt that in games its important to understand these ingredients because without them the players will unlikely become friends.

Later on in the articles they about Dunbar's layers which is "an individual has a highly structured distribution of relationship bonds". Dunbar Friend Layers are small clusters. Below I have attached an image which explains the layers.

The idea behind this article is for us to understand the concept behind the social psychology in games. I have really enjoyed today's reading.

Until next time guys!

My First Game Brainstorm.

https://www.123rf.com/photo_83383233_close-up-of-notepad-with-creative-brainstorm-sketch-and-colorful-pencils-brainstorming-concept.html Hi Guys, Welcome back to my blog, in today's blog post I will be telling you guys about my ideas for my video game. When I think about making a game I think it needs to be a game that everyone will enjoy. After having a look around the internet I know have a good idea of what my four possible games could be. Game 1: For my first game I would like it to be similar to The Sims 4. The Sim was first released back in 2000. It has many different versions of the game which has made this game the "best selling video game series of all time". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sims . I have always like the idea of being able to build your own imaginary life on a video game, from personalizing your characters, to building your own houses/business, to earning money, to having relationships/friendships within this video world. I would ...

Introduction to me being me!

I never know how to write about myself. I always feel so embarrassed and I don't know why😅 Like last year when Margret asked us to do a video about ourselves, I wanted to cry as I never know what to say about myself without sounding big headed! So here comes the cringe fest.... My name is Elizabeth, I am 23 years old and I was born and bred in Maynooth. It is a nice a place but now its just full of college students who are taking over (I know i'm a college student but these people are from the country you know)😂. I still live at home with my mum and recently my boyfriend Dan has moved in with us as well. I have a sister Meaghan who is getting married next year to her fiancee Lesley. In the last couple of years we have also gotten in contact with my half sister, so our family just keeps on growing which is great. We are a very close family and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am very lucky to have such amazing people to be there for me ...

Unity 6

Hi Guys, Welcome back to my blog, for today I will be talking about a new set of unity tutorials which are extremely long!! I really did enjoy these tutorials as it was a new set of them so more to learn, I know I keep saying this but this semesters unity is so much better then last semester I really really like them! Anyway lets talk about unity! I found these sets of tutorials very easy which is a good thing as it means I am getting the hang of things! We started by adding a background and picking our character, we then began to add some code for the player to control the character. (screenshot of my code) (Screenshot of character jumping) We then added an obstacle for the character to jump over. I found by following the tutorials the code is getting easier. Overall I am really happy with my progress on unity! Anyway until next week -Elizabeth
