Paper Prototypes just around the corner.

My mentees are either actively involved with creating and filming their paper prototypes, or it is just around the corner. I always find it thrilling when students put pencil to paper and are forced to conceptually their game ideas on paper. This is where many of your student's game idea "blind spots" can be spotted. Quiz students on the intricacies of their game ideas. At this point, they should be able to answer all of your questions. If not, more work needs to be done to flesh out the idea.

Mini Game in full force!

All of my mentees have started easing their way into the Mini Game topic. There have been (and will be) some bumps in the road along the way, but that is to be expected. It is our mistakes we learn from the most, the things we never forget. So, if a student hits a roadblock here and there, no sweat, once they fix that issue, they can learn from it and teach others how to avoid the same issue.
