The game falls into the genre of a first-person platformer. The games niche genre is fantasy - a forest filled with magic gems.

    Hi Conor! First off, thanks for the comment on my introduction! Your game idea sounds interesting and pretty unique, and I like that you created a story to it, and not copied it from already existing games/comics/movies and so on.(Though it sounds a little bit like Katniss from Hunger Games sneaking out in order to hunt... anyway!)
    I wonder though, why is the boy obsessed with the gems? What is his reason for sneaking out of the house and picking them up in a forest?
    Could you possibly include that in story? Maybe he is collecting them because his grandfather collected them as a young boy so he is following his footsteps? Maybe they are valuable? Or, if you wanna go more into fantasy route, maybe he has some weird creature friend who likes them? Maybe... he is collecting them so he can sell them aaaaaand... buy some kind of gift for his parents? Perhaps for their wedding anniversity? Aww, that would be kinda cute.
    Good luck with developing it further!

    Hey Conor, the game sounds really fun and interesting. Maybe instead of collecting gems you could collect candy? This makes more sense story wise. The description of gameplay, tone and visuals is very good but you could evaluate it a bit more. What I'm saying is that you could talk about the controls, what actions triggers what action. Also how will the time limit be displayed? Is there a limit to the gems? Are we going to have to run back home after the gems are collected? But over all a very interesting concept, can't wait to see it!

    Hey Conor!
    Your game sounds really cool! Genuinely. I like the fact that you're going with a platform styled game. How do you plan to make the soundtrack by the way? If you need help with 8bit styled music or any music in general I'd be more than happy to help you out as I've always dreamed of making music for a game. Let me know anyway, I'll send you some sample work if you want <3

    Hey Conor,
    I really like the sound of your game it sounds really interesting and unique. I like the storyline of the game it sounds really original it'll be fun to play and try and collect all the gems. Will there be maybe a timer at the side of the screen and will there be a certain amount of gems you have to collect to earn maybe a special object or like maybe extra time or something like that. Good luck creating the game I cant wait to see how it turns out !!!

    Hey Conor, Fairplay on this work. It is interesting. I like how you have all this planned out too. What soundtrack are you looking for? I hope you do well though. If you're looking for musicians to help you out, let me know.

    Hi Conor. I really liked the concept and idea of your game. I like that you have an exploration aspect in the game. I liked the lightheartedness of the idea and how all ages can play it. I think the timer is a great idea for the game because it brings a sense of competitiveness to the game and players. Its a game I would very much be into due to the competitiveness.

Game Brainstorm

Game Brainstorm  I got my first game idea after looking at endless runner games such as "Temple Run", "Subway Surfers", "Sonic Dash" and "Super Mario Run". I noticed a lot of these games in this genre are on Android and iOS devices. This got me thinking about creating a similar game for PC. The first of these games to become popular was "Temple Run" back in 2011. This game made the genre popular on mobile devices which later inspired the other endless runner games I mentioned. Endless running games have very simple controls, such as jumping over and dodging oncoming obstacles. A player's score is generally determined by how far they travel without hitting any obstacles. The games have simplistic controls but are difficult because you cannot stop the forward momentum of your character. Although these games have different art styles the gameplay is the same.  I think this would be a good type of game to make because the gameplay ...

Feedback Strategies

The first article I read "Five Reasons to Stop Saying "Good Job!" by Alfie Kohn. The author explains different reasons why he thinks loving and making your child feel good is very different from praise.  Praise will work in the short run because children just want approval from their parents when they are young. Overexploiting this idea will eventually make kids feel manipulated. Kids will start relying on their parent's evaluations too much if they are praised for every little thing. It's damaging for a child in the long run because when they grow up, they will still feel the need to hear whether what they did was ok from others.  Overpraise will make affect how a child feels when they actually achieve something for themselves. They will not appreciate actual achievements if they are constantly getting praise for anything they do. Children will lose interest in whatever they have to do because they know they'll get praise or rewarded for whateve...

Feedback Thoughts

Feedback Thoughts The first blog I read by was about how too much praise can force a person to develop a fixed mindset. The article pushes the idea that people who are praised too much don't bother to develop new skills or better themselves because they are already "brilliant". This blog also focuses on how a fixed mindset can hold a person back in their workplace. Technological developments are constantly changing the workplace, which forces people to adapt and learn new skills. In the second article, I read the author gives us advice on how to crush self-doubt based on his own experiences as a teacher. He talks about seven different ways and goes into detail about each. I liked this article because the author talks about what he did to crush is own self-doubt. I thought both articles were useful in their own way. I found the first one focused more on the benefits of a growth mindset whereas the second focused on how to achieve a growth mindset. I thought the seven...
