Indie Game: The Movie

  1. What are some of the difference between "big games" and "independent games" in terms of style/concepts and how they are made?
Big games are made only for the purpose to sell, to win money and for all the people, instead independent games are made because of a personal goal and a personal point of view, they want to create that game because they like this type of game and it's like a dream for them.

         

        2. What are some of the difficulties the developers in the film had to overcome?

They lost all the things involve with socialisation like friends, girlfriends, partners... they also don't have free time or money to live a normal life. 
Most of them they fall on a depression because of all the things that I said.  


       
        3. What do you think you would like about working on an indie (independent) game? What do you think                   you might not like?

 I wouldn't like to spend 4 years of my life creating a game without doing anything else and without socialising with anyone. It would be depressing.


        4. What is some advice you could offer to someone who is trying to create their own game, based on what            you learned in the film?

Try to do your best, but don't panic you don't have to run to present the game it has to be too good to compete with big games or at least attract to people. 


       5. For the developers, what is the best part of completing the creation of a game?\

Knowing that you created the game that you wanted as you wanted like a dream not the money.

Final Project Proposal

Today I just started thinking about my project I'll started searching tutorials that I could use to create my final game, I'm thinking about making something like the first game that I created in this class when we were using scratch and see the progress and the new things I learned this year.            The game that I created was called Ninjaso, you had to try to avoid the figures and those were            coming faster and faster all the time.           What I want to do now is to change the characters and give the game a good image and also                put a shooter mechanism where you can shoot the objects that are coming, I would like to                    create  a boss too but I don't know if I'm going to have enough time. I'm going to use game maker and I'll be following one tutorial at ...

GameMaker - Asteroids - Part C

- What difficulties did you have?  I didn't have any difficulties at all, I had a problem because i putted a + instead of an = but It's because he Spanish keyboards are different. - How did you solve them? I opened the project and it said that I had a problem inside obj_asteroid, obj_player so I went inside it and I just saw that I had a + that was supposed to be a =. - What did you change in your game to make it unique? How do these changes affect gameplay? I changed the sounds the font and the design of the asteroids, it doesn't affect the game but I would like to change the way the asteroids re spawn, only when you kill them all the spawn again and that's easy I would prefer to add 2 asteroids every time you kill one or something like that because it's getting harder. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VByVKLU9x7FHCKsw1AHwFZ40yupf3X1b

Game Designer Skills

Game Designer Skills 3 skills from the list that I feel i would be the best at: 1- Business: I think that the business is very important inside the world of video-games because you have to know all the things that are more attractive to buy: how the game should be and the people that are going to play.  This is one thing that i really like to do, i really like to sell things I like to think about how sell it. 2-Brainstorming: I think that the best important thing at the time of making a game is the ideas that you have. One game can be good if you have good ideas but if you have a bad idea but all the other is perfect people won't buy it. I have a lot of imagination so i think that i'm good at brainstorming. 3-Sound game: I played a lot of games and it's too important the sound game it makes you feel inside the game and in shooter games for example the sound of the guns or the steps near to you are so important. I played a lot of shooter game and I know ...
