Week 1: Analyze Game
Mr. Razif provided us a resources from other Taylor's students who'd been dabbling in game design. We were asked to dive headfirst into the games and pick apart every little thing to get a grip on how to plan and design game art. It was all about getting real cozy with the nitty-gritty. We had to spot any problems in the games and toss around ideas for making them better.

Second game-Misty Night by Tamara Audrey

In this game, players embark on an adventure with Remy, navigating through a maze of obstacles to reach the rooftop. With a starting stash of 5 lives, survival hinges on dodging pitfalls and spikes, while collecting Ramen Cups can extend your lifeline. Each misstep triggers a swift respawn at the nearest checkpoint.
Playing this game brought a rush of nostalgia, reminiscent of the classics from my youth on websites like y8. The levels strike a balance between challenge and enjoyment, keeping me hooked even through repeated game overs. The sleek visuals and modern design add to the immersive experience, while Remy moves with fluidity and just the right pace. This game has ignited my competitive spirit—I won't rest until I conquer every level!
In this week, we were asked to form in group and come up with a game idea by using 'scamper' or '3i'. Must include the game story and way to play.
