• Also play different types of game either its bad or not
• If their is a negative comment for why the game is bad or good have a reason for it.
• Very important be very observant when you have people playing the game or your playing game.

OUTSIDE (CREATIVITY & THE BRAIN)

• As the protagonist my nemesis would have to be tough puzzles.If there would be something im winning, it would be having cash because if i had cash i would be able to get some items like a pet which is a awesome.

STUDIO (SONGWRITING)

• 1 project idea would be to make a strategy game where i have some puzzles the player has to go through and complete and earn cash to buy pets items etc that would help with the hard puzzles.
  • 2 project would have to be a 2D platformed where the player have to dodge and avoid dangerous obstacles and take down the boss who spread disaster.
  • 3 would have to be a first person shooter where you take down different types of monsters with certain score points to them and you can collect power ups for a certain amount of mins before it disappears and the goal would be to get an high score.
  • 4th would have to be a Racing Game and the goal is to try to get 1st by taking limited short cuts to cut ahead of racers and earning certain places will ear you point where you can spin for a random car to make your races more fun
  • 5th would have to be an adventure because in my opinion having to explore the world is super cool in my opinion because you get to discover new and mysterious things but there has to be an objective and for me i would have to give that game a story line and i gotta make that interesting which is hard and i have just begun game design and im gonna make this my last option when i get a interesting story and i get better at creating.
