This year of Globaloria has been a great experience, but has also been overwhelming. There has been times when I have absolutely felt like giving up and there has also been times when I had high hopes and expectations for our team. We have encountered so many problems this year but with a little bit of hope and team work we somehow managed to pull through. There were many times that our game corrupted and we had to start over which put us behind and frusrtated us to the point of losing hope. We somehow got motivated to restart every time this happened. I'm not wanting anyone to feel sorry for us because it was mainly our fault because we didn' t think to upload after every bit of progress. After everything had went wrong for so long we had about two or three weeks to start and finish our final game. With hard work, motivation, and team work we did have something presentable for the final presentations. Although it was nothing like we had planned we did the best we could. I wouldn't say that our game was the prettiest, neatest, or even had the best learning concept but, I will say that it was pretty good with the limited time we had to do it in. Even though this year has been super hard and frustrating it has taught me to think ahead and do the best I can possibly do and never give up. I really think that if we would have had more time to complete our game everyone would love it. Hopefully everyone enjoyed what little we did get done. I didn't think I would ever say this but I am going to miss this class and Good Luck to all you new comers.
If I was to have more time to work on the game I would most definately add more levels and try to better our game idea. I would have prettier more advanced design and make sure to do everything perfectly. I would think of a way to add more learning than what my game has. Extra time would be a definate plus but we are just going to have to work with what time we was given. Today we had final game presentations and of coarse we didn't finish our game, but there was very little we had to do. We needed to get our last button working, but right when we was about to finish our game quit working. Hopefully, we will be able to continue to work on our game but I don't think that will be possible with the time we have left. With more time things would go much more swiftly. Even though my experience in Globaloria was great I hope to never have to take this class again due to the frustration and limited amout of time to do so much.
Well since we have Westest next week I guess i'll take some time to talk about it. I personally believe that I will do great on just about every subject. I will probably do a bit better on math and reading rather than science and social studies. I feel that the teachers have done the best that they could possibly do to get us prepared for this end-of-the-year exam. We have covered so many topics and thanks to the way the staff teaches I understand how to do just about anything. Overall I think I will make mastery, above mastery, or distinguised on all of the different subjects. Wish me luck!
This year we have done a fairly well job at keeping our game a nonquiz game. We knew at the beginning of the year that a quiz game would not be acceptable so therfore we came up with a strategy to avoid a quiz game. In our game we will not just be asking different questions for the player to answer but we will instead have you play the game to find the right answer. We think that that will be more thrilling and exciting for the player and will allow our game to help students without them being bored. Hopefully our game will meet everyones' expectations. We can't wait to show you!
