Video Games: The Movie

1.One of the main reasons video games were successful is because they are fun. if it wasn't fun, no one would play it. Nowadays, a game decent graphics, and a good story if it isn't a arcade style game. Before, a game became popular due to marketing. Now, games can become popular through forums and other discussions online.

2. In the 1980s, the video game industry crashed because there were too many bad games. The developers thought that as long as they made a game, people would buy it. However, this lead to the industry being saturated with bad games.

3. I think games are a form of art. Art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination. Video games demonstrate both skill and creativity. Video games combine multiple forms of art: visual, musical, and storytelling.

4.I think the next evolution of video games is going to be like living in the world. You won't have to use controllers and  won't be able to tell you have a headset on. some of the challenges that have to be solved on the next generation of games is price. Right now, games are pretty expensive.In addition, if you want to play the games at a  high quality, you have to pay an insane amount of money. For example, to play decent VR on PC, you need around the power of a RX 480 which is retailing for around 300 Canadian dollars. This doesn't even include the price of the other components. VR on console is nowhere near the level of PC. You can only get around 30 frames per second while you can get a good, smooth 60 frames per second on PC. But at a cost. This is why I think the cost is a big problem.

I didn't really have any problems with the programming. The only problem was the cycle moved too fast. This made it nearly impossible to beat the game.  I solved it by making the player move faster and made the cycle faster. However, the cycle was still faster. I made it easier too beat the game by making the player have a higher turning speed. The student that reviewed my game told me to make the map smaller and make the cycle slower. I made the map smaller but made the cycle the same speed because I thought it added a challenge.
