Robert Lyles watching games vs playing them yourself

Image
 Total War Warhamm er Planet Fall Halo Series Game I have played video games for a long time and have experienced almost every genre to date. But when it comes to watching someone play and playing the game yourself, they can be different. For example, I have played two of my favorite games, the Total War Warhammer series and Planet Fall. These two strategy games focus on building your empire and waging war against your enemies; all played in the third person perspective. Watching my favorite streamers play these games is fun, making it look easy to watch them play and learn how it works. But when you play the game yourself, that can be hard because the people you watch on the internet have put much more time and effort into learning how to play the game and know every trick to it compared to some who are new to it. Players who play the game for the first time trying to copy their skill have a fifty-fifty chance of pulling the same trick and their first run or failing multiple times...

Protype Game test Robert Lyles

Playtest 1 (in class)   Playtest 2 (at home) Playtest 3 (in class) For my prototype game, its mechanics were based on Push Your Luck. From there, my partner and me, at the time, thought of a simple game where players start with five tokens and a deck of cards; each player takes one card from the deck, and the person with the lowest number loses a token piece. The game continues until one of the player's token reach zero. The game was designed only to be a two-player game, so it could be easy to find someone to play with instead of finding a group. For the first playtest, my partner and me designed a simple game to understand and play; then, we got the idea of setting the rules of how to mess with your opponents. At first, we thought that if the player had 2 of the same number, they were allowed to get their token back from the grave. Then we add another rule: if they had three of the exact numbers, they are allowed to steal their opponents token. It was a good idea at the time. Sti...

Robert Go Fish

 The goldfish game begins with Robert asking Victoria if she has Ace in her hand, to which she says yes. Raji asks Matthew if he has an eight, which he replays with "Go fish," and Raji takes a card from the deck. Victoria asked Raji if he had any fives in his hand; he replayed with no, and Victoria grabbed a card from the deck. Lastly, Matthew asks Robert if he has any Jacks in his hand, which he replays with "Nope, Go Fish." Matthew was a little disappointed while Victoria giggled at him; thus ended the first round. So far, Robert is in the lead, while players  Raji, Victoria, and Matthew still have not gotten rid of any of their cards, thus starting round two. The round begins with Robert asking Raji if he has a queen, and he says yes. Raji asked if she had any nines and said, "No, go fish," and he took a card from the deck. Victoria asks Matthew if he has any eight in his hand, which he replays with "Go fish." Matthew asked Victoria if so had ...
