For the Discover Dooley kickstarter proposal, I worked on developing and describing the details of the game. I wrote out exactly how the game would be played and how the mechanics of the game would work. This was not too difficult, for I have played many different games and have worked on designing apps before. […]

I’m not gonna lie, trying to come up with a game proposal that was centered around a problem Emory University freshman face, was pretty difficult, but, eventually, we came across the basics of “Dobb’s Playhouse” and began building up and perfecting the concept of our game. The purpose of “Dobb’s Playhouse” is to get freshman […]

“Mentally Stimulate Me”, the game with the odd name. Choosing this game to analyze was, not to pat myself on the back or anything, probably the best decision I made in this class. Not only was it fun to play but it was fun to talk about too. I’m pretty grateful that this was the […]

It seems like so long ago that we created the basic draft of Lucky DUC, but I remember looking up at the board full of first-year Emory students’ problems and thinking that the dining hall food was the most relevant issue.  I came into brainstorming ideas for this game with a bitter mindset, thinking of the … Continue reading Creating Lucky DUC!

Illimat was definitely a tricky game to wrap my head around. There were so many different components and aspects of the game that I have never really encountered before in my many years of gaming.

When initially asked to make a game to solve an issue I did not know what to do, other than just making a point system. After some conversation with my group, and with my professor, we agreed that the game could not just be a thin veil on a self-help book. We had to solve […]

Mario and I created a podcast on the college admission process, and the effect it has on millions of high school students. For this episode, I was the producer. Unlike last time, we were not settled on a game and even switched our idea a number of times. We started with the idea of an […]

I enjoyed collaborating with my group members for the Kickstarter Proposal project to design a game that would encourage more first-year students to utilize their unlimited swipes dining plan. Though this game does not apply to all first-year Emory students (since there are some individuals who already eat frequently at the facility), there are still … Continue reading Lucky DUC Reflection →

When our group got this assignment, we had a lot of ideas that what directions that our game could be on, but there was never one that we felt like we could truly commit to and fully engage in. But then, with a quick reminder from Professor Morgen, we sparked with the idea about creating…

Celia Mae and I came up with our second but also the last podcast for this semester two weeks ago on the game “Pokemon Go!”. It was an extremely smooth process as both of us were familiar with each other’s work style and had a clear sense of how the work was going to be…
