My favorite game that I would play again without a thought


A game I will always remember be it for its action or its quaint way of telling story, It will always be Ratchet Gladiators.
Ratchet Gladiators North American Cover
Released October 2005

I remember playing this, coming home from school and getting right into the action. Insomniac, The creators of the game, wanted to go for this direction. Pure action and less map exploring which the rest of the series is know for. In America it was called 'Deadlocked', while in the EU it was called 'Gladiators', which made a lot more sense as you were a competitive Gladiator not lock in a prison. But you could say that with the way they wrote the story.

To make a story more interesting, they remover your main buddy Clank from the action giving him a supportive/ secondary character role. The also introduced a Mod System to the weapons to give the player a way to chain weapons and elemental stasis like poison or freezing mods to any weapon giving a different dynamic to every weapon.

I will always love this game even if it aged kind of badly, it will always hold some infamous level of comparison to other games I like.

F or this blog post I'll be "Talking" to you about myself and give some general background info on what my future post will be about and like. F irstly, My favorite class of the previous semester was Design Process and Practice as it was REALLY interesting and fun to take part in as it thought me how to create a plan and execute said plan in the creation of a project be it solo or in a group. It was run as a tight ship and made us pick up our pace and ' shit ' to kick-start our creative processes to do projects on a schedule. Solstice Festival Assignment Created By Me Year 1, Semester 2 H ere is an image of my previous work and I'm proud of it. We were tasked to create a poster for the Solstice festival and we could choose any genre of music we wanted so I chose rock as this influences some of my work and it was different as a large amount of people chose hip-hop or rap. N ext, It think my biggest accomplishment of the last semester was my Image Man...

Final GDD

Image
In This blog I will be talking about how I'm going to implement my project for the rest of the year and finalizing my GDD. Game GDD Zeno Clash Link Here In my GDD I've written up some more points but left some to be desired as I think graphics should come second to mechanics and game flow but should not be forgotten and community feedback would help steer this project into a better direction. To begin with I've already begun on the game itself and am in the midst of placing the codes where I want them. These will set the foundation for what I will be building off of. In the next following weeks I will be moving along with the project by implementing my character and fighting scripts, testing, fixing and changing o better suit the needs of the games flow and aesthetic. During this I will also be giving some basic textures to the terrain as I want to focus most of my time into the game itself and getting the mechanics nailed down first before giving it a lick of pain...

Reading about game fun

In this weeks reading, we'll be learning about player fun and how to incorporate it into our project. Game MUD Achaea Worlds leading MUD Link Here In this first article , it describes the fun that the player experiences to be them learning about the game while in a fun flow state. Next it breaks down some of the fun factors into some categories like; Sensation, Fantasy, Narrative, Challenge, Fellowship, Discovery, Expression, Submission. These can be attributed to what a player wants and feels when playing a certain game. Some of these are playing a game on a consistent basis with people you know or how we portray ourselves in said world through our character. This is interesting in the fact that while you think that all games should follow this, its in fact something different. We should focus on the fun that's most appealing to our game and how we want to present that to people who might be interested in playing it. Don't work for all round game, specialize on wha...
