My first game design document....

Back in February, I created my first game design document. Probably the first thing I did wrong was the fact that I did not even bother to do a physical prototype. I only did what was required and that was to produce a game design document. I must say one thing that I did like about it, is that I was very good at writing in great deal (maybe not so much when blogging). It was not a fifty page bible, but it was a good start for my first time.

I like the idea of my game, but I am just unsatisfied with how I imagine it would be executed. My idea is a game or maybe it is more like a learning tool, but it will teach and reinforce symbolic logic for introductory philosophy courses. I call it a game, because I want it to be fun. I think learning tools are also fun, but I also see them as interactive homework and it can't actually be classified as a game. I wanted (and still want to) make this game, because I had a rough time learning logic. It really was a rough time. I am ashamed to admit that I sat through this course almost five times. Two times because it was the wrong course and not transferable and the other three because I had to withdraw. I don't know if I am the only one who sat through the class that many times, but I always dreaded it. It did not help that I have never been good at math. I have also heard that it is not uncommon for students to repeat the course.

I remember hearing quite a bit of feedback from fellow students, telling me that they were also struggling. Other students would tell me that the class was dry, especially due to the way it was taught. I don't think the instructor should take all the blame for the material or their teaching being dry, because there aren't very many ways to deliver the material in an exciting manner. I think creating a game will change that. Not only will it be a less mundane way to learn, but it force students to work together. Working together and learning from my peers has always been an effective learning method for me.

Ahhhh, now I remember why I hate/love school. For the last 6 weeks, I have been locked indoors every weekend for summer school. It would have been really nice if I figured out what I wanted to do when I was actually in college full time. Hell, I am not even sure if I really KNOW what I want to do, just testing the waters again. The weather has been beautiful and I have been stuffed inside my crummy apartment.

On a side note, I really can't stand it when a person's only interest is their S.O. Maybe I hate it so much because at one point in my life, I was like that. I have a friend who is that way and her boyfriend is like the only activity she has going on in her life. It makes me sad for her because when I did that, it didn't do anything good for me. What also bothers me is that she assumes I feel the same way. She always asks me about my boyfriend to the point where it offends me that she thinks I have nothing else going on in my life.

Anyway, back to Flash!

I am beyond exhausted. I feel like I am in a hamster wheel. Becoming an adult and working full time is bullshit. If you want to do anything outside of your 9 to 6 box, you really have to organize your time and PRIORITIZE, something I will never be good at.

"An idea is useless, unless you write it down.

During one of the many logic classes I have taken, I focused more on making a list of quotes from my professor of things he said that I thought were hilarious. Now, I can't find that list. What the hell? I did get a "D" in that class and it sure was well deserved. Now where is that list??

For some reason, the most popular question amongst people I meet is "What are you passions??"

I am so excited for this! I loved mario kart on SNES and 64 and this seems like it will be comporable. I am a sucker for the adorable sack boy.
