Game Elements
Reading the two articles What are the qualities of game design and Game design research and watching the video of game design, helped me see where I need to know and understand the process of making a game and what I should be thinking when I start designing my game.
I liked the part in What are the qualities of game design in the critical analysis section, it opened my view on what I should be focusing on when I'm making my game, like what challenges are the players are going to face and how are they going to overcome these challenges or maybe if the game is repayable, does the game have many different ways to win or finish the game.
I also learned that critical analysis is very important for people that are into game design and how critical analysis is a skill because anyone can review a game but not everyone is going to be good at describing their thoughts when talking about the game, like the person reviewing the game can say "I like the game because it's fun and I'll rate the game a 10/10" It's very bland and it's not going to help the designers on to know why the game is fun, and a-lot of people can be very biased when they review games, they can like the game a-lot and just say how amazing the game is and not say anything about the flaws of the game and what the developers can improve on or the person can not like the game and can just point out all the flaws of the game and not mention what's actually good about the game, that's why it's better for people to review a game that has an unbiased opinion.
When I was watching the video on game design and how you should make many different prototypes for your game, I didn't think that you can make prototypes for your game in many ways like drawing the game or cutting pieces of paper and planning how the game is going to work.
