My Hidden Objects Topic

     I chose a golf course scene for my hidden objects game. I like this topic because I can relate to it well, being a golfer, and there are many places on a golf course to hide things. I also feel that drawing a background will not be hard to do because a golf course can be pretty simple.

What I learned by playing games.

     When I played the dirty river game I learned that my game is going to be a simple one, and it's not going to look professional like the games I play at home. I also got some ideas for my game like graphics and methods.

Single Stories

1. What does it mean to have a "single story" about a place or community?
It means you only think of that place through what you have already heard about it, no matter if it is a stereotype or not.

2. Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?
People always say that Philippi is a small, deserted, lonely town, but what thy don't know is, we are bigger than what we look, and full of life.

3. Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?
I have heard that Grafton is a mean, snobby town where everyone is stuck up. I heard about this from my brother, and I could learn more by visiting there.

4. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
It could show them what it looks like and how a native sees it.

My Globaloria Class

   In my Game Design 1 class I hope to learn how to create and play new games. We will be using Globaloria a lot and it is a very helpful site. I am hoping on some freedom when creating games because I have a great idea on a golf game. I would try to make it as educational as possible. I am most excited about learning how to create games and showing my friends and family the one that I made. I am pretty scared about getting behind on my work and not being able to catch up. Thanks for listening. More blogs to come.
