Indie Game -The Movie-
1, What are some of the difference between "big games" and "independent games" in terms of style/concepts and how they are made?
3, What do you think you would like about working on an indie (independent) game? What do you think you might not like?
4, What is some advice you could offer to someone who is trying to create their own game, based on what you learned in the film?
5, For the developers, what is the best part of completing the creation of a game?
The best part is that the developers finally complete the game and they would be able to watch how fans play and audience react to the game.
The difference between the styles of "big games" and "independent games" is that "big games" usually try to appeal to large amount of audience and created by big companies, although "independent games" reflects on what the creators want and appeal to smaller group of fans.
2, What are some of the difficulties the developers in the film had to overcome?
One of the difficulties the developers had to overcome is that the developers of FEZ needed to get permission from an ex-associate of the company to be able to advertise and present the game. The other difficulty is that focusing on creating games takes incredible amount of time for the developers and they can only have a very small social life.
3, What do you think you would like about working on an indie (independent) game? What do you think you might not like?
One thing that I like I like about working on and indie game is that I would be able to create my own style of game and tell my message to audience through its story and characters. One part I might not like is that I would have less social life and I won't be able to connect with people and get stressed.
4, What is some advice you could offer to someone who is trying to create their own game, based on what you learned in the film?
Some advice I would offer to someone who is trying to create their own game is that not getting stressful by criticism and improve time management skill to efficiently work on making the game.
5, For the developers, what is the best part of completing the creation of a game?
The best part is that the developers finally complete the game and they would be able to watch how fans play and audience react to the game.

Scratch Level 4 - Create Your Own Game
1, What difficulties did you have with programming this game? How did you fix them? Be specific.
I had difficulties with programming blocks to fall and disappear no matter what order the players hit them with a hammer because the coding was very complicated. I programmed each blocks many times and made sure how individual blocks were moving and disappearing.
2, If you used tutorials or another person's scratch project for reference, tell me what changes did you make to
YOUR project?
I referenced Japanese game, Daruma Otoshi on YouTube.
In the Daruma Otoshi game, the payer tries to hit all the blocks not letting its tower of blocks fall down. In my game, the tower won't fall, but a bat bother a player to hit the blocks.
3, What feedback did your beta testers have for you and how did you implement their suggestions?
My game didn't have score system at first, but I was recommended to have the system so the player can enjoy the game more.
4, What would you improve with your game? What would be the next steps with your game if you had more
time?
It was very challenging to smoothly program what I wanted my game to work and had difficulties with managing time for finishing the game. I would like to improve the game system to be more exciting and fun to plsy.

Scratch Level 3 - Create Your Own Game
Project Proposal : To create a game which you stop a moving wooden hammer with a right timing to hit block properly. If it is a wrong timing, a tower of blocks is gonna fall down which is a game over. More you hit blocks, the timing will be harder.
Story line : The maximum amount of blocks is 99 and a cute creature is on top of the tower of blocks. The creature can't get out of the tower and the player needs to save it by hitting blocks without letting it fall down.
Coding Process : I will program a hammer keep moving up and down and blocks continue appearing from the top of display when a player hit one block.
Plan for 4 Classes :
1 - Build a detailed plan for my game
2 - Create and programm moving sprites(blocks and hammer)
3 - Add background and detailed graphics
4 - Add title, setting and other small details, and final checking

Scratch Level 3 - Pong
A link to the project page of the game is below,
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/189063325/
1, I had difficulty with programming a Christmas tree appear in a random time and making the ball bounce when it hits the tree. I reviewed the script of the ball when it hits the bear and understood how the bouncing is programmed. I learned 'pick random~to~' block can fit in 'wait~sec' and 'go to ~' blocks from other youtbe video to make the random tree.
2, I added a Christmas tree randomly appear to bother the moving ball so the player has to hit it back again or the opponent will face the ball many times. I thought it would make the game more exciting and fun to play. I programmed the tree hidden first but appear in random time and hide again in random time.

Scratch Level 2 - Racing Game
A link to the project page of the game is below,
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/187744788/
1, I had difficulties with programming the car's position. It was confusing to me to set the car go back to the same position and direction when it hits the bombs because I didn't quite understood that the state of the previous game-play will last when you replay it. It affected the position and direction, but I could change it by programming positioning blocks between hide and show blocks and made it seem going back to the place where it exactly was when the game started.
2, I put bombs on the road to make the game a little more challenging. Programming the car hits the bombs and go back to the start position is almost same as programming the car turns when it hits the red zone. When it touches the blue colour of the bomb, an image of "Bomb"show up and the car go back to the start line.

Kodu Pac-Man
My Pac-Man game,
Kudo's programming,
Robot's programming,
1, The maze of my game is almost same to the original game but placement of enemies is different from the original as I didn't put them together in the middle of the game.
2, My game not only has the same green and red apples as the original but also it has an orange apple hidden at the back of the maze and it has the largest point.
3, I had difficulties with programming Kodu launch missile and vanish the Robots. In a programming section of the robot, there was nothing that I can program to let it vanish. Eventually, I only needed to program Kodu to vanish the Robots, although it was quite confusing.
4, I was advised that the game is very difficult and hard to earn enough score to clear, so I programmed the Kodu to be able to launch a missile that can vanish the enemies. Though I had only three enemies at first, the missile made my game very easy. Therefore, I put more enemies to program my game not too easy or difficult.
5, Next time I'd like to put more options that makes a game more entertaining. This time I made exact same maze as the example in the tutorial videos, but I think different type of maze would be more fun.
