The big gaming development workshop !
Today was a excellent turn out! Today, on the 1st of July the gaming workshop held by my John
Carruthers had a total of 15 students from year 7,8 and 9 turn up. The atmosphere was ever so hot, by exciting as always. As Mr.Carruthers presented some game play of a new game arriving in the UK in 2016 called The Last Guardian, the students also discussed among themselves the power of technology and the impact of the gaming platform as a whole. A activity was drawn out for the group to create ideas and plan out the beginning of their own game! Today in the gaming development workshop, some of the most productive students gave Mr.Carruthers some information about a game of their genre, title and much more.
For example, a young man by the name of Hamza presented a game called 'THE NEW WORLD' and gave 3 of the most imperative bases towards his game that he was thinking of. The characters of course, the 3 protagonist are named Smithy , Jimmy and Lara. The name which I've already mentioned and the setting; New York, 2511. Hamza has continued to say that his game's narrative and unique attraction will be based through the usage CGI. ''Nuclear explosion. Whole city completely ruined. You are a survivor and you're on a hunt to find the way out as your totally lost. On the way you meet 2 more people. '' Hamza has continued his text and simply told the reader about the uniqueness of the game. Exciting isn't it?
Another young man who has differently, but also in a creative way structured his ideas in a bullet proof plan has given Mr.Carruthers and the rest of the class a insightful reality of the Zombie based game which he has imagined.

The students fantastically worked together and generated ideas based on their own will and personal point of view on gaming. Having a group of 15 young boys discuss the beauty of everyday with gaming technology, new passion for development was discovered through various game play shown ( by Mr.carruthers ) and pure idea - based discussion. Every student has enjoyed the session and has worked fantastically.
With the students either working individually or in groups of 2/3, they researched same gaming production technique by going on a website called www.Lynda.com. The students created a optimistic environment and created some fantastic ideas. A big thank you to the sixth form students, Mr.Carruthers and Ms.Leiba for the workshop.
