School of Inafune 2-15

Team SIN - Haruna Kudou

Kudou of Team SIN here.

It’s getting cooler these days.

Today we presented our team’s progress, and we had some question and answer time with Ono-sensei. After that we had team meeting.

Ono-sensei’s lecture today was about, creator categories. Some are good with making original contents, some are good with improving existing contents, and more.
Everyone has his or her strong points, and should learn to use them.

We came up with some new ideas for our project. We made some progresses, I think…
However we can’t relax until we present it to Inafune-sensei.

The goal of Inafune-Juku isn’t far from now. We won’t rest until the end.



Team JYK - Mizuki Wakatani

In this week’s team JYK, we planned about our game’s principle, and the social system.

So, what is ‘social’?
We played some social games and analyzed each game’s elements. We reconnected each element after. It’s kind of fun.

Social means society.

Society is community. Community is connections of people.

What is communication then?
Communication means to make action to other people, and get reaction in return. (I think that’s what it is, I think…)

With that in mind I played some of the social games out there. To me (players) the reaction part was more important than the action parts.

We can get numerous ‘reactions’ from the game. It is almost like having communication with the game itself.

Unlike console games, when you are ‘into the game’, it is fun even doing things other than trying beating the game.

Is this kind of ways to play game are out of date?
The world is changing every second. A creator’s job is to make something new.
A good creator has to know where is the industry’s front line.
I will try to be one of the creators to know where the front line is, but I will also try to be one of the creators to be able to draw that line, themselves.



Hirahara

I will write about weak point and strong point.

There are new title games and sequel games.
Some creators are good with making new title games, and some are good with making sequel games.
We even heard there are writers specialize in writing sequels. I don’t know which is better, but I think what is important is to know which will suit yourself.
I may not find out which am I, but this is a question to keep in mind.

Next week is the presentation to Inafune-sensei!
We only have a few more lessons left in Inafune-Juku, and I think our team is on fire! (in a good way!)
