Project+3+Reflection+-+Ryan+WM

In reviewing the work that I've completed for Project 3, this was probably the easiest of the projects we've completed thus far. For the first part of my project, I simply reviewed articles on www.gameinformer.com until I found one that caught my interest, and then I proceeded to take a more in depth look at it. If anything the most difficult part of the project was part 3, but it was also the most enjoyable because despite the time investment, I really enjoyed writing out my script and using my imagination.  My Wordle indicated to me that I'm very construction oriented in Minecraft, along with the fact that I live in a very metaphorically dark minecraft world. Playing Minecraft primarily influenced my script in that I wanted my key character to be able to interact with her environment in the same ways that Minecraft's Steve can interact with his environment.  When writing my script, I considered other games that we've discussed in class, but more than anything games like Mass Effect or Dragon Age that have multiple choices that a character can make so the gamer can create his own story. The advice that I would pass on to other students working on a project like this would be to review many different game types before beginning your script. Its worth honing in on which game type suits you best so you can take your character and the plot of your game in the direction that best fits your writing style.
