Tuesday 25th September

First we were shown a slideshow of the type of contexts that we're going to be exploring throughout the course, these are 

• Historical 
• Social 
• Cultural 
• Geographical 
• Political 

Then we watched a film called 'Indie Movie' which showed the struggles and stress which independent game designers go through to become successful. 

We saw the creation of the games and how much work and dedication goes into them. The games included were 'Fez' and 'Super Meatboy'.

Fez was created by one man and took 3 years to finish, it was originally created by two men but one of them left the partnership leaving  Phil Fish to complete the game by himself.  

  

Super Meat boy was 

desgined by Edmund 

McMillen and Tommy

Refenes.
