I had a wonderful time looking at various kind of games that was presented during this conference. It also made me consider joining the Doom mod class which was very interesting. One of the developers for Doom machine mod actually brought his cassette tape player and made it so the player can use the tape player as a controller. Our games from the class were also presented to the public, which made me pretty nervous because it feels like they are comparing our school project to the other famous indie games that they played. When this one individual was playing my game, I actually jokingly said “Oh wow, the graphic looks so nice in this game, and oh wow look at that the mountain, look so beautifully created.” (Trying to hype my game up you know)
This conference was very interesting. Our professor and author LeMieus Patrick and Stephanie Boluk both talked about their experience in video games, the philosophy behind them, the future of them and also the book in which they both collaborated on. It is called “Metagaming: Playing, competing, spectating, cheating, trading,making, and breaking videogames (Electronic Mediations) which can find here : https://www.amazon.com/Metagaming-Spectating-Videogames-Electronic-Mediations/dp/0816687161
