BGP – Day 10
Prototyping & Materials
The plan for today was prototyping with paper, glue and a lot of coloring pencils! The fastest way to try a idea is to build it as fast as you can and then try it, if it fails, try again. It is looked upon as a very forced way of design and is not commonly used in other industries. But when it comes to games, it is easy to test a mechanic (which is similar to rules in a board game or is often seen as a verb or a tool to use, everyone has their own description..) Here is an interesting read on design, how it differs in games and why: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/KatharineNeil/20161214/287515/How_we_design_games_now_and_why.php We managed to build a level and try out a puzzles, finding some interesting parts that we might need to change or think about in the digital version.
We will see how it evolves! After this I just spent the rest of my times studying materials, similar to what I did in my previous post. I will still wait until I post anything that I’ve worked on, hopefully you are getting a little curious and excited. That’s all for today, have a great weekend!  |
