Personal Experience: Creating A Video Game

Superior Essays
Back in September we got told about our I.B. project and were given some example ideas. None of them seemed appealing to me, and I thought about what to do, I had so many ideas of what to do and found the one that best suited me which was to create a video game and have people play it around the world. I knew video games from the back of my mind so to create my very own video game and have people play it would be outstanding. Although it did have a flaw, I had no experience in making video games. I had a general idea of what to do but not enough to get me far. I did my research and began my creation on a video game. The goal of my project was to create a video game and have people internationally play my game and get results back, I went through a couple of ideas on what type of game to make, a FPS, a MOBA, a horror game, or a 2-D platformer. At first I went with the horror game but after making it for a while realized I wouldn 't get my game done by the deadline. I went with a 2-D platformer because based on my research people most …show more content…

The main thing I learned through this long hard process of creating a video game was, even some things look easy and seems fun there not, it took hard work and dedication just to make the simplelist game but I was happy with the results that I got in the end. I also found out that the creations that we all make are gonna impact other people which was my plan, to impact people

    The idea behind my project is to show how the aphorisms were always running through Morrie's mind. I drew a silhouette of Morrie and filled it with aphorisms that stood out to me. I did this to show that Morrie, himself, came up with these aphorisms, and not someone else. Morrie used the aphorisms to teach and get a point across in a way that is easy to understand. My project is another tool to help get Morrie's many messages read.…

    Throughout working on this project, I have learned a huge amount of new information that I didn’t think that I would learn. I can honestly say that I am glad that I chose such a broad subject for my senior project because it allowed me to learn all kinds of different things from different aspects of the subject. Through picking what my actual project is about, writing my research paper, to creating a product and to writing this letter now, this project has let me learn new things that I will be able to teach others about. When beginning this project, being a new concept, I was worried that it would be very difficult and stressful. Given the time that we have had, I was able to spread out all the work and get each aspect of the project finished one-by-one in a non stressful manner.…

    As my schooling progressed it became more and more apparent that the school did not care about the game design program as much as the other programs such as criminal justice or internet security and once we got a new dean things only got worse for us. Originally they were not even going to have the bachelors start up which is the whole reason I was going to the school in the first place because they didn't have enough people and didn't want to put the effort into teaching small class sizes. A lot of us were upset so they took the students who were still going through the associates degree and bumped them up so that they could also attend the bachelors with us. Whenever we talked about having people from the gaming industry come and talk with…
