My first game

 

When I was a child, I wanted to escape reality and find another existence, a place

to have fun and impossible experiences, I was searching for it and I found a video

game console with the Super Mario Bros cartridge. Since then I wanted to be a video

game creator. I tried making video games with notebooks years ago, but I couldn’t

create one playable game. My dream was to live real adventures, like superhero

characters. As my first video game was Super Mario Bros, I was always a

Nintendo fan, my dream was to be an official Nintendo video game creator. Today

I want to be an all platforms video game creator because I would be very sad if

any Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony video games and consoles fail.

I always believed in Nintendo, because Nintendo was innovative, most of their

video games always were good video games, Nintendo was trying new ideas that

other video games companies weren’t. Nintendo always has always been my

favorite video game company. But it happened because my first video game was

made by Nintendo.

I really enjoyed my first Nintendo video games. I played Super Mario Bros 3,

Ducktales 2, Joe and Mac... all those always were the greatest video games for me.

When I was child, I always was playing video games, I played about 6 hours a day,

it was like a vice, but here is a big reason, I was bullied at school, I didn't have

friends, the video game console was my friend, the only things that could tell me I did

it well were the video games. I always wanted to study a lot to be a better student at

school, but I never had help to get a good school score and learn, for that reason I

spent my time playing video games.

But, in the end, the video games were a happy experience, I can't say video games

ruined my life because they were my only companionship. I played many times with

my brothers, at our parties we did it very well playing video games. If I never played video

games, my entertainment could be sure boredom. I play video games, and I want to create

video games because we can do things that we can’t do in real life. If video game worlds

and adventures were real, I would prefer the real adventures and worlds, but that does

not exist, and video games are better, because if we kill or destroy something or

someone this would not happen in a real way, in the video games, the death, the

wounds, the destruction and the death experience is never real, and we can thank for it. 

Well, that is my post for today, follows more of my posts in my DevBlog, see ya’. 

Cheating in Video Games

There is a thing that I don't like in video games, that is cheating in video games. There are people who use hacks to win automatically doing nothing. Playing it well does not matter, if the opponent uses a hack, the player who plays it well always loses. Using these hacks don't have sense, the video games are made for playing it. Do they want so much for winning by doing absolutely nothing?

Another terrible thing in video games is to have very powerful characters. An example is Dragonball Xenoverse. In this video game each character has a count of attack points and life points according to whether that character was more powerful or weaker in the anime series. Obviously, in this way, the video game doesn't enable that player to choose a weak character, because choosing it leads to an inevitable loss, the more logic way to play it is all players using the more powerful character or all players using the exact same character, because both players try to choose different characters always will be unbalanced.

The other way to cheat in video games is with glitches. In the Super Smash Bros Melee video game, we have a glitch, when Ice Climbers hit the opponent, this adversary becomes paralyzed, the opponent can't defend oneself and the Ice Climbers player can make all damage before throwing it out of the stage and then the Ice Climbers player wins. In Mario Kart 64 video game, for example, we have a way to jump some tracks from the same finish line skipping all courses. This is a fatal error too, and it is a glitch, makes you want to pass all of these tracks with it inside of play fair, because is sure that the opponent will use this glitch.

The best is that cheating in video games is prohibited in official tournaments, with glitch characters and/or glitch stages prohibited, in this way play is fear.

Well, that is all gamers, follow us for more information and learning experiences, I upload them occasionally, but I do it. See you next time! Bye, bye!

Georgy's DevBlog Beginnings - Covering Letter

             

Hi everyone, I’m Jorge Gutiérrez, a future videogame designer and developer, I created this DevBlog to talk about my university projects. I am studying at SEK University, Chile. Currently, I am making a video game with a group of students called Project Locked. I will show you my skills in this DevBlog, also my knowledge and experience. I hope this works well like useful information for creating video games. You are welcome to give me reactions, opinions and comments.

In the beginning, my study partners and I were making a video game prototype individually for workshop 3 course, but in the end we are making only one project all together. My previous video game prototypes were difficult to make. I always thought that I couldn’t make them, but I finally realized them. I learned we need more people to create video games, a video game can’t be created by one person.

My first video game was Arma Caras, it is about changing face parts to make it match a model in a specific time limit. My second video game was Super Ranita 5 Estrellas, it is about a character that makes a wrestling Five Star Frog Splash to an adversary from the top of a building.

Right now, my job is focused on procedural creation of names and characters for each enemy or prisoner.

Follow us for more information and learning experiences, I upload them once a week.
