Student Sheet Activity 6: Strategy, Mood and Tone

Objectives: Revise mood and tone based on strategy

Directions: In class you have been creating your own game worlds. Strategy, intensity, mood and tone can always be improved.

Given what you have talked about in class, think about how your game can
be improved and the tone and mood might be changed.

Things to Consider:

• Do you think the player has a fair chance in the game—is it winnable by skill or luck? If it is more by luck then you may want to revise the game.

• What are the strategies a player can use to work through your game?

• Does the action of the game bring you into the game world?

• Are music or sound effects used in the game? Are they overly annoying or do they create tone or mood that engages the player?

• Can you change the mood or tone of your game by changing the sky colour and lighting?

Improve your game by taking into account all the things above.

Make sure you can talk about how you are improving your games:

• Strategy or

• Mood or

• Tone

When you are asked what you are doing!
