Introduction too me
Hello welcome too my blog this is a short introduction to me and what I am excited for in this module also since this module is about video games probably some of that.
Well firstly I
always wanted to create a video game it's always been a dream of mine
but seemed very complex it's actually one of the main reasons im
in the course so now that we are making one as an entire module gets me
excited for the semester. I'm Not exactly sure what kind of game I would
like to create it would have to have a good story since thats what I look
for in a lot of video games its either for it to tell a story or
being able to create one in the game.
Recently I have been playing a lot
of crusader king 2 which is a medieval grand strategy game however I
don't know if I would call it that as there is a lot of luck involved
since some wacky and unexpected things might happen for example slipping and
dying with no heir too your dynasty causing you too lose the
game or going insane and promoting your horse too be your chancellor. It's a
very interesting game and if you have the rest of Paradoxes grand
strategy games you can hold a mega campaign going from the age of antiquity
all the way into the future and space colonization. I have been
working on trying to this for quite some time now but with little
success.
Hopefully I will achieve this soon and
can have one of these mega campaigns I
recommend anyone reading this too check it out on YouTube as it
leads to some interesting countries coming out on top.
I have also tried to read more
starting with Plates The Republic and I am currently around half way
done im a extremely slow reader when it comes too books
especially if i put it down i can’t seem to pick it back up im hoping to finish
the book soon so that I can move on to another
philosopher this time from Japan by the name of Yukio
Mishima he lead a very interesting life and I do recommend that you at
least watch a YouTube video about him or check out his
Wikipedia page
I hope you enjoyed this Intro too me
and come back to read more of my blogs bye for now have a great day.
Hi Aleks! I have a load of Yukio Mishima books if you ever want to borrow mine. The republic is currently on my "to buy books" as well so that's insane, I bought a greek mythology book the other week and it's really interesting so if you're into that sort of stuff I suggest Mythology by Edith Hamilton, the illustration is incredible. I can't wait to see your game project in the future though so i'll keep an eye out for your blog ;)
ReplyDeleteHey Aleks, I'm also very excited for this module and have the same problem as you on deciding what game I want to create. I like many different ones and it is a hard topic to decide on. Story games are great and really makes the player engage in it, they are one of my favourite. Goodluck with your game and reading.
ReplyDeleteHey Aleks, great to hear that you are excited for this module. I also am really excited to figure out what we are going to be achieving in this and also can't wait to start creating our final game, this is where are full creativity comes out. Also crusaders king 2 is a really cool game I've seen a few videos on it before and it looks like a really good strategy game.
ReplyDeleteHello Alexs, really enjoyed your introduction post, it is well written and you have also given me a good suggestion for reading and some new games to try. Thank you for that! I'm happy to hear how excited you are for this module, looks like your dream of always wanting to make a video game is starting right here. Best of luck in this module and the rest of the year!
ReplyDeleteHey Aleks, really enjoyed your blog post and I love the enthusiasm for the module! It's really interesting to see your thoughts and ideas on the games you've been playing in your spare time and how you might incorporate some ideas from those games into the one you'll make this semester. Hope it all goes well for you this year, good luck!
ReplyDeleteHey Aleks,
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to met people who are just as interested in games as I am. I also enjoy games with a good story and I don't think there's enough of those especially in the current era of games. I know you'll get on great with game design especially if it's been a dream of yours to create a game and if you have the passion for it, it will definitely take you a long way so just keep grinding man.
Hey Aleks!!
ReplyDeletei really enjoyed reading you blog entry and getting to know you a bit more, i have also been trying to read more books this year but i also have the exact same issue of getting sidetrack. i am also a big fan of Yukio Mishima and his philosophy, anyways wishing you luck with finishing that book
