Monday's class was especially interesting and rather time consuming. Each one of us had to present 20 different sketches of a game design(s) which we came up with. Most of us came up 20 different sketches for one game concept, but others, such as me, came up 20 different sketches for 20 different game concepts. Throughout the presentations, I found that not everyone put as much effort and time to their ideas. The games seemed fun and interesting but didn't really make sense. Mine wasn't so great either. Unlike most of the class, I decided to come up with 20 different game concepts instead of one. I found that to be much more interesting and that much more difficult. But I don't think my ideas were as good as most of the other students. My games didn't really focus on the aspects of education and learning, more for just having fun with. These games were named L.A. Life, Hollywood Life, Criminal Escavation, Nutball, X-games Unleashed, Bar Mania, War front-the Conquer, Pocket Tanks, etc. My favorite one was actually my Nutball concept. I believe if this game was actually manufactured and produced, it would rather become rather popular and sell quickly. It sounds like it would be a good investment for the future. I hope no one steals the idea by then.
I think the idea behind the exercise is to expand our minds by brainstorming different ideas to create a interesting design. I am sure the exercise was also for us to broaden our sketching ideas. Jimmy said we will need to start to producing much more sketches in the future for our ideas because 20 sketches is not enough for brainstorming ideas, we would need to produce about 100s. I also believe that these exercise are meant for us to observe, learn, and evaluate other peoples ideas just as our own. It was a fun experience.
