This semester is the beginning of my senior year in Engineering Arts and Entertainment. What does that mean? Let me tell you. I have four classes.
Film class number one: Game development. Our first assignment was to play old school videogames from the NES and SNES and write about what it is about that game that I love.
Film class number two: An introduction to film development. We are going out and just making simple movies and learning about what makes movies so interesting.
CS class number one: Capstone project where I'll be creating a videogame to port to the Xbox 360. I've already started my pitch which is Peggle but in space where you can manipulate gravity either as the level or in certain powerups. Although even if it isn't picked (we whittle it down from 30 proposals to 2 games) the games I've seen in the other proposals would be fun.
Lastly, the non-fun CS class, but I'm not focusing on that one.
Doesn't that sound awesome? Now I just have to keep up to date with each of them and not die under the pressure. I'm sure this is going to be a blast.
Studying videogames. Who'd have thought?
