I believe that through the playtesting stages of my game I have been able to change a lot of the rules of the game to make it more user-friendly and easier to play. My game aims to get rid of all the cards in your hand through gameplay. To do this, players must put down… Read More Game Rules
For my game this week I will be discussing Abstraction and whether my game has concepts of it, my progress with the prototype and an example of the rules which are being used in the playtesting. Abstraction in games can be defined as: The conceptual process that is a series of mental activities where rules… Read More Game Prototype and Abstraction
For the prototype of the game Meme-ery only a few material components are being used to experiment with. These material components are the analogue playing cards which are the basis for the game playing. Due to the materials of this game being very limited, one could say that the price of creating, distributing and marketing… Read More Game Prototype and Materials
Prior to last week’s class, I was convinced that I had my individual game idea set in stone. That particular idea, revolving around the film industry, is still my main and more developed idea, but following the “10 ideas in 10 minutes” exercise conducted in class, I have come up with several other ideas, as… Read More Initial Ideas for Individual Game
During the class, we brainstormed ideas that we could potentially use for our final game concept. The brainstorming session in class was a great way to start thinking about the game and concepts that could be further expanded and developed. In this 5 minute brainstorm, there were a few good ideas but most of them… Read More Brainstorming Game Ideas

Students Maintaining Uni, Work and a Social Life – A Game in the Making
In class this week, we began working, in groups, on concepts/themes for a new board game. My class mate Aiman and I were quick to decide that we would develop and base the concept, around the style of an RPG game. Our concept is heavily influenced by games like Pandemic! and to a lesser extent… Read More Group Project- The Mars Expedition
The game that was prototyped in my group works with the concept of students struggling with balancing university, work and relationships while being a student at university or even school. This theme/idea is one that we have all experienced at some point being students and is something that we hope will make it relatable to… Read More I. Students Maintaining Uni, Work and a Social Life – A Game in the Making
Being a university student can be difficult especially when things in life can get in the way of study. Things that as a student you can control (such as watching TV instead of study) and things you can’t (such as a beloved pet passes away). I wanted to keep this idea and put it into… Read More Under Grad
Totally not entirely based off Kingdom Hearts I swear.
