Creating a video game seems like it would be a hefty tax with all of these nice graphics and fancy controls, but actually its not that hard. The first step most game designers make is not even on a computer at all, its with a pencil and paper. Game designers have a lot of decisions to make even before they jump onto a computer, they have to conceptualize the game, pick out their target audience and pick the software which is both available and suits their project. Then if a developer has the availability of a team they would get the artists to design the characters and environments, and even if they don't have artists to do that they can do it themselves. Both the characters and environments play a huge part in the game, they give the game the aesthetic that the designer was hoping for and the charters are what drives the storyline and wha keeps players engaged. Then after all of the art stuff is complete its time to start writing the story (if the game has a story). The story of a game is one of the most important parts, it's what keeps players coming back and wanting to continue playing the game. After the story, it's time to get into the nitty gritty of the design process, the coding and implementing all of your assets into your game. After lots of time and lots of trial and error, you have created a video game! Good job you keep up the good work, I hope you learned more about the game design process and proven to everyone that anyone can do it!

Yesterday in class we got to play card games in preparation for our end of quarter project. We got to play was a game called Bears Vs. Babies which is made by the same people who made Exploding Kittens. This game was kind of weird to play at first because of the different types of cards and what to do with them but after that we got the hang of it. Players used their cards to make Frankenstien-esque monsters with random parts of the body like the fins of a fish and the head of a dolphin. Since we only had one class period (50 mins) to play the game we didn't really get to far into the game and nobody figured out the purpose of the pile of babies and it was a big mess but still my group and I had a lot of fun. With the rise of video games in the past decade I feel like playing card games has become obsolete and it makes me feel bad. Just sitting down with a group of my friends and just paying a fun card game really made me think about this. Nowadays people just go on their game consoles and chat with their friends online but they are missing important face to face interaction which are essential to having a healthy life. So take some time out of your day, sit down with your family and friends at the dinner table and play a good ole' card game, trust me you won't regret it!
