Evaluation - part 1 (reflection -part 2)

Today we, begin with starting to write our process of game making. Instead of starting from the beginning with Investigation we begin with Evaluation.  These questions below are template questions given by Mr. Holmes and using these questions, we have to make it better and and for it to make sense with our game.

Template questions:

• List the good points
•  List the  bad point
•  How useful was it
• Hows is the layout
• List points on how to improve 

My own questions:

reflection 1

For the past week, I have been trying to download Kodu on my laptop so that I could use and work on it at home. But the download seems to not open, so this is where I am having difficulties of trying to work not only at school but at home.

Design / Plan

What I have decided to do, is to create a game that has to do with art. Since it is a very broad topic to go on, I have specified it to be teaching how to create an art portfolio through an adventure game. In the game - there will be a series of task given after each one is finished, the person in the game can get information, help and hints from others in the game. once done with the task it would be put into the portfolio - building up the art projects and their learning. [ sketching, shading, etc]  To create this adventure game I would be using Kodu. This idea came to me when Mats told me about his idea on an adventure game on business and so I thought about doing an art portfolio adventure game. I chose this because, for one I myself am creating an art portfolio and it is my first. I have also realized that there are not many sites / videos to give you step by step guidance to create your own portfolio and this is my reason for starting one as a game to allow yourself to "physically" create one.
