Game Production 2!!! BRING IT ON!!!

Well its that time of the year again. Game Design & Production 2 has begun.

For this year, we have a chance to get 3,800 XP. That's a lot of XP, but you know what, I'm ready for the challenge.

In second year, we only had to write blogs in order to gain XP. Apparently, this is not the case this year. Professor Nacke updated the XP qualifications. Not only do we have to write blogs for XP, we have to tweet about the class and our accomplishments in our game, we have to participate in class through in-class discussion, and there will be in-class quizzes. What better way to encourage 3rd year game development students to fully engage themselves in this class other than through social media. Using Twitter will become a habit for most us this year for sure and it is also a great practice to develop since we will need to use social media in the real world.

This class is like an actual game itself. We the students, are the characters living in a virtual world (like Sims) and are pursuing an excellent mark in Game Design 2 by completing various tasks and assignments. Very interesting.

 I am definitely going to aim for the full 3800 XP. So bring it on Game Design & Prod 2!!!
