The new team formed

We formed a new team at the last time today, it was lucky that I maybe have the chance to put some idea  in the game of the new team.So for the new team we have Zeph , Alice, AB, Yuntao, Wang and me. We  are going to do a RTS game and of Course we are going to do something special , maybe we do not have the system in my homecoming game, but I still have some ideas for RTS game, it will be a lot of fun,  right now we had decided using some kind of cute art style which using Alice's talent and the game will be on the Mars.
We still need a lot of discussion, but since we had a good team, nothing will be not difficult.

Hard decision

I am sad to say that I found it is very difficult to get people on my team to finish my game idea.I know I need to pick a team to join in, but it is a tough decision to do. To be honest, I am totally not interested in music game and for the another one, the one needs two player to play together, this idea is good ,and it reached the same point of my idea in some part, but if I was Andrew, I will let it to be a one player game instead of two player game. The biggest problem of that game is that  the hacker always will be the guy to send the order and another guy just need to follow the order to do what the hacker want them to do. If  I play this game , I will choose to play the hacker part. The team Fus-Fus, although they had talking about they will only keep the physic force and will reconsider the game idea again. I doubt I can belive it or not, because the same thing happened when I was in the undergraduate program. So I want to join a team with a idea totally new. I also had sent a email to us that want to get together for another time and we can form another team, but no one answer me. So if we can not form a team I will join the Fus-Fus team and see what will happen in that team.

The game " homecoming " pitch post-mortem

The idea of homecoming comes from the report of game design class and the brainstorming for the ubisoft project, I combined these two together and tried to give the idea during the presentation, but I did not do a good job, I tried to cover more and more information, but it went to a wrong way, people couldn't understand my idea. I did not have the same problem before, I think one of the reason is that I want to explain something is totally new and how I can reach the point I want. The more clearly I want the audience know my idea the more thing I want to talk,and the thing went to worse. :'(   The other reason is my language, actually I want to talk more it is because I did not have the confidence that people can understand my idea totally, this is also why I choose the game engineer track not the producer track. Not like the time in Japan I have enough time to get my language just like the resident people. And I also has some problems with my PPT, the structure of it is not good enough, I should not put the details thing at first and it took me so much time to finish. I need more graphics and less word, only key word in my PPT, and I can explain it during the presentation.

New rules in the game project class

I am very happy with the new rules in the game project class, we won't do the same way in the first semester,which means we have more time focusing on the one game idea, and try to complete it not just a prototype.We did not need to change the technology we used, the last semester we just spent too much time to learn the new things, not focusing on the game itself. We were keeping trying to get more skills in the new technology, we just wanted to " finish the game ", not to " make a game ". Everyone can  a game idea and we can choose the team we want to go and  decide which game you want to make. I will definitely do it.

When I was in Japan I am a game designer, so I have bunch of ideas in my mind and this is one of my abilities which I am proud of . I am going to pitch the game I was thinking in the game design class which the combine the RTS and FPS game together.
