Hi Abi, is everything okay? Just asking because you seem to be missing the following pieces of work:
ReplyDelete*Essay on the technological advance of your choice (digital distribution, multiplayer etc)
*5 statistics from the Reality is Broken video
*A summary of the Hot Coffee mod and what it meant for Rockstar Games
*Description of what an Indie Game is and a case study on an indie game of your choice. This can be Minecraft but could also be one of the three that were featured in Indie Game: The Movie - Fez, Super Meat Boy or Braid - or you could write about another Indie Game of your choice.
*Your definition of synergy and symbiosis in relation to the videogames industry - you will need to have a look at my PowerPoint i've put up for this as Googling these terms are not too helpful! Then give examples of these terms using the videogames industry - in my PowerPoint i've deliberately used the film industry for examples.
Any problems whatsoever or if you need to ask about one of the tasks to be completed just comment on my Blog with any questions.
Use my Blog and the label clouds to help you with any reading you need to do for the tasks. All PowerPoints are in the label Lesson PowerPoints.
