Week 4 Workshop (Territorial Acquisition Game Design)

In this week we are creating a territorial acquisition themed board game.  The game is about two kingdom trying to defeat each other.  This game can only be played with two player.
 

 

The game start with each player flipping a coin or other method to decide the order of turn.  Each turn a player can only move his troops to one base now each base is filled with 50 soldiers. Now every time a player take that spot he will get additional 50 troops. Each player will start with 100 troops, and in order to destroy the enemy base they need to at least have 250 troops. Now, the thing is that each player don't know which area has been taken by the other player and how many troops are stationed there. Should the troop defending the area have higher number than the attacking troops then  the attack obviously failed. Now what happen, when the player loses a base, the original 50 troops that were in that area are given to the attacking player and the area is his. Player can't just attack anywhere they want, it must be within reach of their nearest base. So in order to attack, you need to make a clear path to the enemy base.

Week 9 Workshop (Puzzle Game Design)

In this week we are to create a puzzle themed board games. the idea for our games was that the player have to get out of the prison using whatever resources he can get from his room, with an exception that player will be help by an anonymous message containing certain tools. 

At the start of the game player will be given an instruction to get out of the prison. Player will also be given a knife and a rock. The player are free to do whatever they want with the object and tools that they got and try to escape, but be careful as there is a guard nearby. Now the solution is that the player can try to torn the bed and take the spring to make some sort of grabbing stick using the knife and then wait for the guard to sleep/ leave and then take the key or they can try to attract the guard maybe by clogging the toilet or pretend to be sick or any ways that you think will make the guard rush into your cell and you can just kill him with your knife.

Say if you think that was too easy, then you can try to make it harder by saying that the tools are not there and you only have your bed mirror and the toilet in your cell. You can try to figure how to either stole the key or kill the guard, the player are free to imagine any possible way to escape as long as it is still logical.

Week 8 Workshop (RPG Game Design)

 In this week we are creating an RPG game. We took the combat system from the M20 rulebook as well as the stat the character will used. We are making a map with 5 different terrain with each terrain having their own unique quest and surprise in them. All the terrain have different level of creatures to encounter but the forest which is the first starting area are generally easier than the others. Player movement will be determined by their dexterity and armor type the higher the dexterity the faster you can travel. And the heavier your armor type the slower you can travel.

The player will start at the town, the town is basically the place where you will get most of your quest, and turn them in. of course there will quest that will come up when you do another quest. At first you will mostly do gathering quest and easy hunting quest. But as you progress you will be send to kill bandits and more tougher opponent. When you've done all the main quest in the starting area you will be send to the dessert
and help a village that is under siege by bandits and finally the main objective is to slay the dragon in the volcano, which is the hardest terrain.

Week 5-6 Workshop (Microlite20 RPG Games)

In this week we are going to play an RPG game, a game called Microlite 20. It is quite confusing for me, especially when we try to create character. We need to define the race and classes. Each race have their own advantage. Our attack and HP also depends on dice roll, but it is bad that i always get a low number. For the quest, the lecture have provide us with "The Bandit Chief" quest that requires one GM and 2 players,which i cannot complete, because my character have already die before it reach the final stage.

Using A.G.E framework, in the action side, since we only play one quest at a time, i can only said that player can attack by rolling a die and to choose item they want to use on battle. Because the quest is about defeating monster. Maybe in other quest, player may be able to talk to the NPC which may result another story. For the gameplay, the main purpose are usually to complete the given quest. The game master will control the flow of the game, so if a quest about defeating an enemy, you must attack and survive from the battle until you complete the quest.

As for the experience player may encounter excitement at first, because the player do not know the flow of the quest, only the game master know everything. So maybe, there will be some unpredictable encounter that will makes the gameplay more exciting. There is also self-identification, which the player may feel because the player can create the character class and race by themselves, which lead to survival, because to continue the quest, the player will have to encounter battle and survive all the way round so their character will not die (since if the character die, you must create a new character to replace). Survival also links to excitement, also links to pride and joy if we ale to defeat the enemy or complete all the quest given by game master.

Workshop Week 3 (Race to an End)

This week my team mates and I made a game called 100 steps towards Freedom. It is a race to an end game published by Mohitanand, Arjun Angu Velu Rajamanickam, and Dien Thon. The rest is going to be explained on the next paragraph, including the storyline, the rules, and the abilities.

The way to the evacuation centre is filled with traps,zombies,supplies and plenty more challenges.

Infamous: Second Son (2014)

Infamous second son is an action open world game, it is the third game of its series, and this game was developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published exclusively on PlayStation 4 in 2014. This game followed the series as player-controlled protagonist that possess superpower abilities that players can use during the combat. The story is about a teenager named Deslin that encountered a bunch of superpower holders or in this case they call it conduits. Deslin becomes one of them conduits and begins to fight with the DUI’s, it is a government organization objected to destroy all the conduits. The game is full of fun combats, new abilities, engaging NPC’s yet the mission mechanics are repetitive. Player will also have the option to choose between being good conduit or bad conduit by their behavior towards the citizen, enemies, and environment.

This game has one of the beautiful looking game on PS4, it has been refined by adding non-essential features like tagging, more action and abilities from its previous series, but yet it still a new experience overall. On this game other than the essential combat systems, players can actually upgrade their ability by collecting orbs, players can also jump obstacles, fly, sprint, collecting manas which can be found throughout the city by absorbing either light, smoke, fire, and others, choose their abilities throughout the levels between smoke, light, and concrete respectively to be discovered. The extra features is what makes this game fun, players can sprint through building, teleport, transform as a smoke, and many others to be unlocked. The storyline of this game was not the best, it was also not dull, and it was decent. For the basic movement, players can also climb buildings, jump, use plasma weapon from light ability, throw grenades, et cetera. What makes this game so engaging is the options you can choose, you can either be a bad or good conduit, both have their own unique ability, storyline, and an alternate ending. Being a bad conduit is by killing innocent citizens, killing the enemies, destroying items, and neglecting citizens who needs help. Good conduit helps people and capturing the enemies. The boss battle plays a significant role in this game, although it’s a bit repetitive, but every boss battle has their own ability that is beyond what the player has if they don’t upgrade their ability. Overall this game has truly next gen graphics, has a wonderful PhysX particle system graphics engine, beautiful scenery, decent story with side missions, immersive gameplay, and tons of fun actions.
