    Good luck on the GDD. Since there’s four of you, I’m pretty sure that the GDD is supposed to be fairly long. Anyway, the game sounds fun, and I look forward to seeing it.

    In reply to - nexus posted an update in the group Final Projects : Currently working on my team’s final project, we are moving forward on a GDD that will look at implementing augmented reality successfully into a game, or least contain similar elements. The current goal is to have a prototype that will take Spaceville to the next level and hopefully [...] · View

    Wow, sounds like you’ve really come along. Your game sounds pretty interesting. Almost reminds me of a combination of Garage Band and Rock Band.

    In reply to - rickikicks posted an update in the group Final Projects : Bass, Drums and Guitar are all implemented and working, with 2 full scales(one scale is an octave higher than the other). Multiplayer is now working with upto 4 controllers as well. The only thing left to implement are the visuals, and justify how the controls would look on [...] · View

    The dry run on Saturday went well. As Jamal has already said, we’ll be hosting another run on May 7th. We would appreciate it if people came to play.

      That sounds like a great idea to me. I wonder what you will be doing on Saturday for it.

        You should come and play. Then you won’t have to wonder about it.

    Here's something for the mechanics. Just decided to take everything from Rules and stick it here. ~~~ Flags as identifiers. Tagging is method of capture. Can only be tagged on enemy base (King is the exception).  Tag the Commander and the game ends.  No time limit or points system. *capturing and tagging are the same [...]

    I agree, Royal Reckoning sounds like a good name. Though another one could be Commander Capture.

    Team got together this Thursday and worked out the basics of what we want for our game. We’re currently deciding on a name. Personally, I’m a fan of Royal Reckoning, but I don’t know if that’s the definite name.

      I came up with a name you could use for your game. How about you call it ”Loyalty Examination.” It deals with royalty and disaster. It faces the determination of good karma versus bad karma. You can think about it for a little bit.

    Well, this sounds interesting. What do you want to overlay onto the real world for people to see? What’s the overall goal of your idea?

    In reply to - nexus posted an update in the group Final Projects : My team is planning to use the augmented reality plug in that exists for Unity and deploy on the Android phone. I doubt anybody has experience with the plug in, but nevertheless if any advice, that is welcome. We are hoping within the next week to see what [...] · View

    I have to agree with everyone else. I’ve never even thought about trying to get onto the leader board. There’s no motivation because there’s no real reward for getting onto the leader board that’s actually worth going after.

    That aside, I think that your paper idea is a great one.

    In reply to - sabotagegigante posted an update in the group Final Projects : I’m working on a paper looking into what appears to be a decaying effect of gamification implemented using primarily extrinsic rewards. A good example is how people reacted to the points on this site. In the beginning people posted very aggressively in a attempt to gain position on [...] · View

    Are we actually going to be meeting tomorrow?  I need to know so I can set my day up around it.  I can be the designated note taker.  Just please tell me if we're doing anything.

    I say we should use the same number of unit types that there are in chess.  Of course if we want to use more, that's fine.  We just have to make sure they're all balanced.

    Overall though I really like the unit ideas, very well done Luna.

    Are we using the same style as from the midterm for this? I don't know how to work the WordPress/BuddyPress mechanics, so I don't think I'll be much help there.

    I don't know if anyone keeps with current things in social media here, but if you haven't heard, Twitter defaulted to it's old layout during a recent maintenance cycle.  Clayton actually complained about it on his twitter account, GAMECRITHULK.  If you haven't seen his stuff, check it out, he's really funny and insightful.

    There is a lot of truth in the idea that people will only act on something if they find it interesting or if it gives them a sort of advantage.  For example,  I've only ever watched things on Youtube that I thought were interesting, or I felt I had to check out in some cases.  [...]

    As far as the final project is concerned, I have a plan for that.  Phermeus came up with the idea last week when we were showing off the midterm websites.  If it were allowed (I'd be surprised if it wasn't), we would like to continue working on Elysium for the final project.  We wanted to [...]

    What suprised me most about the end of Cognitive Surplus was that it talks about how our social media is slowly killing society as a whole.  Again, I do think that it's the audience that's responsible for this.  However, I also agree with the book when it says that we are the only ones who [...]

    Before reading the end of Cognitive Surplus, I admit I didn't really have a very high opinion about social media.  I had always thought of social media as something of a cesspool.  This class did change my opinion of it somewhat.  I now understand that it's not the website/service that creates the bad reputation, it's [...]
