I chose the various pieces of music based on specific scenes from the game (battles, etc.). My intention was to have the music set the tone and heighten the excitement. There is no such thing as a silent video game--they ALL use a soundtrack, because it helps to put the player in that world. 1053419 https://padlet.com/1053419/b3hyg782ml0r/wish/145618585 1.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li9Vi_-Nufk

We actually just finished a unit on game design, and I was able to use some of the techniques (such as story boarding and mapping) when I was coming up with my open-ended, decision-driven game  outline. ]]> 2017-01-06 13:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/1053419/b3hyg782ml0r/wish/145667853 Understanding the Content 1053419 https://padlet.com/1053419/b3hyg782ml0r/wish/145669462 The connection to epic poems like Beowulf and video games is strong, since most video games out there take their players on an adventure. In some games, players can play as the bad guy or the hero. In Beowulf, there were three adversaries, and one hero, so this story would translate really well into a video game. Also, Beowulf, the hero, got rewarded with gold and riches--this is a common payoff in many video games: the players are seeking treasure throughout the game, because it unlocks new levels or more weapons the hero/player can use.]]> 2017-01-06 13:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1053419/b3hyg782ml0r/wish/145669462
