Game Review #3: Mario Party

So recently I had a couple of “couch co-op” experiences and one of the main games I was playing was Super Mario Party, a 4 player boardgame adventure filled with minigames and competition. It’s a virtual game set in iconic areas of the Mario game’s and “lore”, and each setting…

Reflection #3

For my physical game, I ended up adding 2 small components that I think needed in order to keep tab of the amount of marbles a player has. The first one was adding a whole to the bottom of the cup to allow the marbles to go out of whenever they fall. The second components was that I made a small ramp…

Game Review #3: Pokemon Unite

When Pokemon Unite first launched, I knew I had to hop in the game and grind it out to the top. The game is pretty much a MOBA but much simplistic. I have tried playing League of Legends and while I did enjoy it, I wasn’t really that good at it, so when this game came out, I…

Reflection #1

There are six different types of potato cards that the player must collect in order to win. The game starts out with the player receiving three…

Reflection #3

In anticipation of the new Animal Crossing update coming out on November 5, 2021, I reset my island to start with a clean slate. Erasing the 130 hours of effort put into my original island was daunting, but I was hoping to recapture the wonder and drive I felt the…

Game Review #3

There are many popular games that are co op, but one game that came out last year that changed my view of co op games was Phasmophobia. The first time I played Phasmophobia I instantly loved the game. It was nothing like I had played before since you can interact with the world by talking to it. Not…

Reflection #3

I made a game based on the prompt “Preparation — Set It Up, Let It Go”. I decided to name the game “Set Up Attack”. In the game two players set up shapes in a horizontal order. Each player gets ten shapes in total to set up. You get 4 circles, 3 triangles, 2 squares and 1 star. Each shape can do a…

Reflection #3: Throat Singing Game

For this design challenge, I reiterated on my Tuvan Throat Singing game. This game was a digital game that I made with Unity. I made a video in place of a playtest highlighting the reiterations I made to the game. I added the idle and singing animations, audio, and an…
