The process of making this game was a lot like making a piece of art. The processes involved were very similar. When making a piece of art, you first determine what it is you want to make and/or what it is you're trying to say. You then decide what steps to take in order to achieve the desired outcome. If you wanted to make an art piece about Global Warming, you would first decide your medium. For example purposes we'll say we decide to make a video piece about Global Warming. You then have to decide what props, persons, images, and audio you want to use. Then you decide in what sequence(s) and combinations the elements work best together in order to achieve the message you're trying to send. For the game we created, we first decided that we wanted to make a game and then we decided that the elements of it were that it had to be played on campus and that it had to use our cell phones. Then individually we came up with ideas that involved the elements of the campus and cell phones. We also did research about artistic games that helped us in our process of coming up with our own game, and in art pieces you can also do research about the mediums you use or the topics your making the piece about. Overall I see extreme similarities to the steps involved in making our class game and making a piece of art.
