Hello, for todays blog I will be talking about my group project. In this I will discuss the topics that are in my project. I will first give a brief definition for each of the topics, then explain what I will be doing in this project.
The first topic is console games and pc games. This topic details gaming on both console and pc platforms. Each of these platforms have strengths and weaknesses that make them viable choices. The next topic is digital augmentation of board games and table top games. Digital augmentation is mixing real life with the digital world by using AR technology and filters. This also includes board games and table top games that have been made digital so that you can play board games online with your friends all over the world. Social games are videogames that focus on online multiplayer play that are hugely popular. Social games like Minecraft have brought many communities, cultures and religions all around the world together to socialize and have fun. Mobile phone games make up a huge amount of people that play video games because everyone has a phone and most mobile games are free and easy to access and play. Monetisation in gaming is the way that games create an income through different ways like advertising on mobile games when an ad pops up for a few seconds or by offering an in game currency of maybe an exclusive item or more content within the game. The functionality of play can be different for everyone. The most obvious of these is to have fun above all else. Agency is what decisions the player makes that can impact either the story of the game or how your decisions affect what happens next, the reason why agency is important is because it shows that a players decision does matter and that it is worth continue playing. This is similar in the case of narratives in story telling games where certain dialogue that you choose in the game can have impacts on certain characters and plot lines.
What made me interested and wanting to work on this topic for my project is because since a young age I have always been a gamer through multiple generations of consoles. Gaming has been a life changing experience for me because I have met so many new friends from all corners of the world and we all share similar interests. Gaming has also been a great way for me to relax after a long hard day and because there are so many different genres of games there's always one that I will feel like playing no matter what mood I am in.
The topics that interest me the most in this project is probably console and pc games and monetisation in gaming. The reason why console games and pc games interest me is because I have grown up using many varieties of consoles and have moved to pc gaming. I am interested in the strengths and weaknesses of both console and pc platforms and the rivalry that exists that a lot of people dont know about that exists. I will be researching both of these topics in the group project while others in my group will research the ones that they have chosen.
Monetisation in gaming interests me because every game that you play in this generation must have a way other than purchasing the game to make an income off of its player base. They can do this through various ways such as loot boxes, skins, currency purchases and much more.
