Joining a Winning team

Everyone in our lab had the luxury to join a team with a game concept that he/she would like to work on, instead of being assigned to a team.

This is because we only have 14 people in our lab. Our class size is relatively small compared to other labs, individual skill sets are evenly distributed throughout the class.

I really liked Andrew’s idea; his plan is to create a game that is similar to SimAnt, a very successful game that was created by Maxis during the early 90’s.

The idea of creating a game that has a retro vibes to it sounds really refreshing. Most of the games nowadays are concentrated heavily on the 3D graphics and not necessarily the detail or concept of the game. By joining Andrew’s team, we are hoping that we would be able to create something that is invigorating, not something that is dull and generic.

According to Andrew’s presentation, his game introduced a game play that is both entertaining and educational for pre-teen. We have a good team and we look forward to making this game; however, the only concern is that we do not have a dedicated programmer.
