Week 2 Workshop

Analyzing Classic Game

 

In this practical, we discussed about how do we analyze using A.G.E framework for the first time. And from the link provided, the game i choose to analyze is an Arcade basis games called Asteroid by Atari. The link is: https://www.atari.com/arcade/, there are also other games that you can try other than this games.

From the A.G.E framework, we can analyze that from the action side of the game the player can move the ship, they can rotate the ship 360 degree, they can fire the ship's weapon and use charged attack by holding the same button, and they can also teleport the ships to another location around the field.

For the Gameplay side, we can see that the main objectives is to destroy incoming asteroid by firing the weapon using weapon button ,and to survive by moving the ship or wrap to avoid the incoming asteroid.

For the Experience side, the player will experience to be self-identified as a outer space pilot. Self-identification will lead to survival, that the player must also avoid themselves to hit the asteroids. The survival may become excitement, that because the player not only have to avoid them, but also to shoot them to complete the mission. Aside from self-identification, the player may have a competition feeling, that because Asteroid game was quite popular before, many players may compare their score one to another which later lead to pride and joy to the player who got the highest highscore in the game. Note that survival may bring pride, since that the more time you survive and destroy the asteroids, the higher scores you get.
