  Hi guys! How is everyone going? Like some people who viewed my first time creating my game last week, I was really having difficulties starting it because of multiple errors and I also realized that I wasn't "emotionally" ready to start my game that time as it did not hit me yet. 😐 Fortunately this week, I was able to get comfortable when thinking about starting my game hahaha. I decided to start over again as I did not really want my maze to look like a very simple maze. If anyone hasn't seen it here is the link to my Prototype blog to have a quick view. First Screenshot of my game update The image above is my new updated maze map that I created. I also did the same first step where I used a Maze Generator to make a quick maze for me.

Game Fun The game can be described by the 3 components Mechanics, Dynamics, and Aesthetics (MDA) or otherwise stated as rule - system - "fun" . The three reading selections this week and the synopsis below all address the term "fun" in relation to game design. There are eight types of Fun outlined by the MDA. These types are both a source of reference and player experience that blend together in many ways, and essentially what makes a game engaging and enjoyable.  Eight Types of Fun Box Oxford and Merrian dictionaries define Fun as an enjoyment, delight but within the context of the game, it refers to a form of pleasurable entertainment. MDA papers define the '8 kinds of fun' sensation, fantasy, narrative, challenge, fellowship, discovery, expression, and submission, remain a source of reference and possibly the most popular list of the player interactions combining in various forms to attract each player to a particular game.
