Week 14 Notes and Links

First and foremost: I will be taking roll next class, please be there or be square (there may be cookies too!). It is important that you bring your one page document with you to get valuable feedback. Please see Homework 9 for more details.
***The one page should be a summary of the game used for your game design doc.***

EAE day is May 1st.  Extra Credit will be given if you attend the event and send me an email with a game played or short film (Machinima) you watched.  I must receive the e-mail by May 2nd to have it applied to your grade.

Tonight I talked about the design document and  also covered the 5 elements of a game,casual games, puzzle games and platformers. Corey also presented on, and took us on a walk through of Dustforce.  He is one of a select few to achieve a perfect score. Thanks, Corey!
