Updated presentation with game idea and some more content. I have worked on core game loop and started thinking of how I want the UI and screen to look like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game pillars have also changed, I made them more specific and finally managed to understand how they work. It took a few attempts to actually make them relevant to my game, but from the feedback I received I understood that I am moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the lecture earlier on, we have learned what core game loop is, and I was able to make my own. It is quite deferent from what I had in mind as my first idea, but I am satisfied with how it worked out. I think this game loop resonates with my design intention and brought more interesting mechanics in my idea.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First time picturing UI as I imagined it in my head.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Rough appearance of the notebook. All the animals that you interact with (successfully) are being saved with a little scribble of them from the MC and a few notes regarding the animal\u2019s behaviour, preferences and name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            If you fail to gain the animal’s trust or simply miss it during the game, the pace designated for it in the notebook will remain blank. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

            Feedback: the idea is well pitched, game pillars are very specific and reflect the design intention and gameplay well. From the presentation, focus on researching what words like connection<\/em>, compassion<\/em> and soul<\/em> mean specifically in my game. How do they contribute to the design intention? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Research game mechanics. What genre of game is this? How can mechanics influence the narrative and design idea?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
