Presentations

On Tuesday, some of the students and I presented our ideas to the rest of the group so we could get feedback to help us choose the most appropriate product. The students opted more towards both my animation idea and and my idea of producing a game. In the end, they came to the collective decision that I should just choose the idea I feel most motivated about. Although it was originally the animation that I was most motivated towards doing, I soon became uninspired by the idea and that's when I came up with the idea of doing a game instead. When I pitched my ideas to them, and explained that I hoped on making the game as an iPhone app, they all thought it was a good idea for a product, but is may be a bit too ambitious considering the constraints on this unit. Since the feedback, I've researched into other ways I could produce a game and have found a website called YoYo Games; where users can play, create and share games. On this website, a software called Game Maker is available to download and users can create games without the trouble of programming; because the encoding is already done for you. The only other way to program a game in the time we have to make our product, would be to hire a real programmer; because learning how to program games would take a lot of time. Therefore, I think YoYo Games and its software, Game Maker, would be the most logical choice for the program I use to produce my game.
