In the last game design class we talk and play test about the topic of team based game. First class of the week we get into our groups and play a team based board game together with the people that we have to do the team project on, so we can get familiar with our own group and to figure out how to play the game we pick as a group. Our focus this week is about team game we have see three types of game, the first game is a board game, the second game we watched the gameplay video clip on youtube as a class together, but didn’t get a chance to play it, the third game is called Overwatch. In this three games the game play style is different but there are some common points. It all required time to understand the background skillset of a particular character or a particular race, these kind of game reminds me of a game called Warcraft 3 the frozen throne, because in this game we need to understand a particular hero’s skillset and it’s different passive, just like in Fire Emblems for the archer is good to hide behind the bushes and for the tank, stay in the front line. On Thursday when we play Overwatch in class together, some of the person is their first time to play the game, just like me, so I was lost when I get into the game, I don’t know the ability of the hero I am playing and we have no communication no strategy. But I believe if we spend some time to understand the skillset of the hero, and the map objective of how to win the game. We will have a better player experience, One thing I found out is that for team playing game, communication is so important, and everyone need to be on the same page. If one of the person don’t want to win the game, we will probably have a huge chance to lost the game. and I found out maybe it will be good to have a voice system like Dota or league of legends, when we can communicate with our own teammate in live. But at the same time people may abuse it, to become toxic talk, I think in this part league of legends really do a good job, you can only talk to the person that is in your party when you queue up for a match. You can not communicate with random people, it prevent the situation that talk toxic words verbally to the people you don’t know.
