What Features • Some people like skill-based games (like Mario Kart), and some people like games that let you be creative • For example, Someone really enjoys playing Kerbal Space Are Important In Program, which lets them build their own spaceships! A Good Game? • Mr.Simpson (expert at coding): • Also the dynamics of the game should be balanced • The dynamics are… how people use the rules of the game to behave • So if a puzzle game has a button that you can press to reveal a hint, and everyone presses that button ALL THE TIME, then people might feel like it’s not a challenging puzzle. But if the hint button makes you lose 100 points, people might press it less • A real-world example of this might be a family dinner table with strict rules. The rules might be “you can’t chew and talk at the same time” and “you can’t interrupt another person if they are talking” • When designing a game, you must see how people use the rules, these “dynamics” are very important. • In a good game there are many important features in them What Features • These are the important features that are in most games: Are Important • Graphics In A Good • Multi-player (Social interaction) • Visual Display (Clean images) Game? • Challenging • Fun to play • Easy controls • Follows a main story • Educational What features are important in video games? • From a survey that I made • 40 peoples results • I made this as a question in my survey to get different perspectives for important features • The people needed to rate each feature from 1-8 • Shows the percentage for each feature and the percentage of people that chose it at the rate 1-8 What is the process to This is where Epic Game's designers and making a game? workers work and make their games: • A good game has a long process of making a game • Designers wish there is only one way to make a game but there are many steps • Process of making a game: • Make up what the game is going to be about/ based on • Add where the game is going to take place • Add characters and a story to make the games have things to complete • Add rules if you want people to follow rules while playing the game • Lastly, you should add all the colour, detail, design, creating the setting or place • To add finishing touches, you need to add art, animation, visual effects, sound design, lighting and more. Is a video game design a form of creative expression? • A video game design is 100% a form of creative expression • There are many ways that a video game design is a form of creative expression. • There are many museums for video games now • How a video game design is a creative form of expression: • A video game design is a form of creative expression because one design show how creative the designers that made it is • The designs also show creative expression because the designers put a lot of hard worK to create and maKe cool and realistic designs. Should Epic Games Make Video Games For Children? • From my survey there are two different perspectives to this question • Some people think they should: • Some people think that they should make games for kids because games take kids away from the mad and stress things that they think about • Some said that they should make games because Green Bar: Yes games are fun to play Blue Bar: No • Some said that kids can learn a lot from games • Some people think they should not: • Most of the people that chose the answer no just said that because they don't play video games and that because they can't download games made by Epic Games. How do video games impact children? Positive Impacts Negative Impacts • Improve hand eye coordination • Games that are based on something violence can • Chance of improving test scores make a children’s mind care less about violent stuff • Improve problem solving skills that happen on streets and more places • Mind/brain ability to gather and collect information • Makes the child have less social time with family and more quickly friends • Takes kids away from things that make them stressed • Get less active exercise or mad • Makes the kid a bit more aggressive feelings and • Educational games teach skills and improve behavior knowledge • Might have a chance to test scores lowering • Exergames helps you improve physical skills • Get addicted to games • Prosocial games improve being empathetic and • Decrease empathy and helping people helpful and may decrease aggression • Can make you do worse at school Here is a small survey to see what you prefer: Outside Play Time Video Game Play Time Works Cited • Got information from Mr.Matt Ozalay (works at Epic Games) • Got information from Mr.Simpson (expert on coding) • Are Video Games Bad for Me.

  • Epic Expands Competitive PC Online Catalogue with Acquisition of Rocket League Developer Psyonix
    Publication date: 07 May 2019 Author: Louise Shorthouse, Ph.D. Research Analyst I, Games and Apps Epic expands competitive PC online catalogue with acquisition of Rocket League developer Psyonix Brought to you by Informa Tech Epic expands competitive PC online catalogue 1 with acquisition of Rocket League developer Psyonix Industry giant Epic Games has announced that it’s in the process of acquiring San Diego-based studio Psyonix, who develops the very popular vehicular-soccer game Rocket League. The title is one of the biggest cross-platform games that are available on all major platforms, second only to Epic’s Fortnite, and with more than 57 million lifetime players it represents the company’s most significant acquisition to date. Furthering Epic’s developer-centric vision for the future of PC gaming? Epic Games has been aggressively pursuing exclusive game content for its PC games store, with AAA titles such as Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 already listed, plus World War Z and Borderlands 3 in the pipeline. The acquisition of Psyonix initially appeared to be a significant move in Epic’s on-going battle to persuade Steam to commit to a permanent 88% revenue share for developers and publishers. Epic-exclusivity for Rocket League would represent a significant loss for Steam, and further fuel existing market tensions. However, despite initial indications that Rocket League would cease to be available on Steam following its release on the Epic Games Store, the company later clarified that no plans regarding the sale of the game on Steam had been finalised. The future of the title on Steam therefore remains to be seen.

Conclusion ○ Know what you want and do it fast. ○ Build and maintain key relationships. ○ Attend conferences. ○ Build 1.x. Introduction Hello, my name is James Tan. I am the co-founder of a game development studio that is called Digital Confectioners. Before I became a game developer, I was a registered pharmacist with a passion for game development. Roughly five years ago, I embarked on a journey to follow that passion and to reach the dream of becoming a professional game developer. I made four key decisions early on that I still follow to this day. One, I wanted to make games. Two, I need to develop strong mutual relationships. Three, I need to have strong reasons to be at conferences and never for the sake of it. Four, I should always remember that building 1 point x is going to be faster and more cost effective than trying to build 1 point 0.
