UI Design HW

In our design chris and I tried to streamline the process as much as possible. A big way we dis this was allowing players to duel from the first screen they see. This will allow player with defined deck and strategy to just jump into the action wothout having to be hassled. We also tried condensing as much info as possible by using pictures and symbols that are easy to recognize and remember. We only have about 4 menus but they cover a wide variety of the game. As you said the beat menu isnt a menu so we tried to leave genrous space gaps and use many pictures to get the messege of the content across. I think our UI design well represents many of the ideas that the current app market targets. Its easy to use, can be good looking, its fast, and seemless.

  In the chapter of level up, it talked about how designers make are supposed to make games that are challenging, but not to difficult because it then the game itself wont be as fun. Gamers want to play a game that is challenging then difficult. The difference between challenging and difficult is that, challenging is what makes you use head, to be creative of your ideas to solve a puzzle or to find another way around. And difficult is when its to hard and might make you give up real quick. This chapter didn’t only talk about that it also talked about props that players can destroy like crates, newspapers, bottles, vases, etc. Also the way you give the player glowing iconic things like levers or pathways or whatever to help the player out. These things are important in a game. 

    Speaking of creative lets look at the handheld game that I liked called “Donkey Kong” in that game its mechanics are movement and strategy because as I played it I had to focus mostly on how I move and timing just to get to the top and grab the crane so the guerilla could drop. The controls worked just fine and so did the game. The frustrating part of the game though was the barrels because timing when to jump was annoying because the there would be a bunch of them coming down at once sometime. THe reason is because the amount of barrels that came down will change each time u get to the crane and when the level would change. Ultimately I did have fun with this game.

   Furthermore, the first game I didn’t like was “Fishing Boy” because it was so boring and retarded. Its mechanic was just mainly focused on movement. In the game all you do is just move left and right so you can pull the fish out of the water when they reach the fishing rod, though it was getting a little frustrating just moving in two different directions. Nevertheless, the controls did worked fine and so did the game.

     Lastly, the game “Zelda” was another game I didn't like because u couldn’t move up or down, you are only allowed to move left or right. Its mechanic was mostly focused on strategy and you had to avoid the skeletons on the bottom while you fight one enemy on top. The controls worked except the up and down buttons on the D-pad. It was really frustrating not to move all over the place.

  During my time playing an elliptic seizure game called “Slave of God,” I can say this though, that this is some weird game. I caught a headache just playing it. In this game you’re in a nightclub with so many flashing colors, that it is so hard to see. There’s loud music that changes every time you go on the dance floor or when you do something else. You”re able to drink in the game, but I can’t tell if I got drunk or not because I have so many GODDAMN COLORS! in my face. I thought I was gonna die playing this terrible game. I recommend that nobody play this game because you will get an annoying headache.

   I think that games should have art to it. The reason because is that art is what captures everyone’s attention within the game. For example, take the game “The evil within.” In this game you have the design of the characters, buildings, enemies, music, weapons, illusions and etc. All of these things are art. Without art we would never realized the beauty of them. Art is the most wonderful thing to have in this world and in a game. Also when people go an art museum, they go there to enjoy the work artist put there time and effort in to making a masterpiece. It’s the same with a game. So, I do believe art is important.

   I think graphics don’t have to be that perfect. The reason I say this is because there are so many games that we played that didn’t have that good graphics, but still very fun to play. Though it’s true that graphics in games make us so excited, hyped up and it stands out because it would look so real like it’s a movie. Even though it looked so real the gameplay looked so perfect with the story and multiplayer. Take the game “Uncharted for example, it’s graphics are so phenomenal and it’s story is so good, it looks like your watching a movie, but the gameplay is even better. Now take mario for instance it’s graphics is awesome and not like “Uncharted,” but playing it is really fun because you can have fun with the fun activities it has. So, in general I don’t think graphics actually matter just as long the story and multiplayer to the game is fun.  

   In general I think games shouldn’t always be realistic. My reason is because even though the realism in a game is awesome, it doesn’t work for every game. If we looked at the game “Grand theft auto,” it has so much realism in the game. You have civilization, sociality,drugs, turf wars etc. It hardly has any imaginative creativity in it and that anarchy. In the game you basically can do whatever you want. For instance you can run people over, shoot them, stab them, robbing stores escape a wanted level like nothing ever happen, because in real life we can’t have it that easy. Though this game has it’s fun and unique standards. The other game “call of duty,” has to deal with are government and the technology that we have in are country. The real life events that’s in these catches are attention because these makes people or gamers whatever you want to call them, question and help them realize what goes on in the world. If we look at “prototype,” this is another game that has a couple realism and that’s the military, civilization and socialism just like grand theft auto. Though it has a lot of imaginative creativity. For example, you play as a person named alex mercer who has mutant powers. In the game you can run on walls cars throw people like a football, shapeshift, fly, you get the picture. This shows that, there is more mind ideas in this game than realism. So, like said before realism doesn’t always have to be in a game.
