Experiments in digital creation.

This week’s readings of Verified consisted of the final two chapters and postscript. The two final chapters return to a more grounded approach to researching. That being evaluating how certain claims affect your emotions, and how not every piece of information is worthy of your time and effort. Chapter 10: Emotions The chapter explores how…

It fills me with such sadness, and yet relief that we have finished our discussion on Verified. But frant not fellow classmates, for I believe we will be discussing Verified and the methods that it taught us for the rest of the semester… Also, if you have Goodreads, you can add this book to your…

This week we went over the the development of games, and Twine! Ooooo twinnneeee. What is twine you ask? Twine is considered a video game, but not in the sense that we remember it. Twine is deigned to be sort of a “story mode” narration of what a typical game may hold. Think of the…

I’m not really a gamer. Every time my friends and I play Mario Party I loose: Unless we play the candy shakedown mini game, in which case I dominate. When I play Fortnite I run around and hide because I don’t understand how building works which means I’m essentially useless. While I was reading this…

Alright, I’m going to try to stay away from discussing my ongoing Verification Quest project. I fear that I chose a topic that has aged… poorly. I’m actively considering changing it at the eleventh hour. With that being said, I want to delve into some things that I’ve never really considered about game development. I…

“It’s the adventures they weren’t expecting to have that make a game memorable.” – Jayanth (126) For class on Tuesday we had to read a chapter from The Creative Writer’s Guide to Narrative Video Game Design by Julialicia Case, Eric Freeze, and Salvatore Pane. This reading was very beneficial to my thinking about a project…

SPOILERS FOR FINAL FANTASY VII Hello y’all, What a week, huh. Let’s first talk about Verification Quest. I have made major progress from last week! Which is mostly because last week I had little progress. I have a lot more work to do, but I am really happy with the topic I choose. I am…

This week in digital writing, we talked about what it meant to construct a game with your audience in mind. This was a good topic to cover as we approach the deadline for our next project. We also submitted our drafts for our Verification Quests, and we peer reviewed them. I had never really considered…
