This DataSketch utilizes data from my Steam Library to create an abstract depiction of a solar system that is meant to symbolize my preference of games. As a game designer, I feel I don’t need to explain the importance games have had on my life as it seems fairly obvious that games give me passion and keep me being inventive. Each planet is based off of a genre of game and it goes as follows: Adventure is blue, Action is red, Casual is green, First Person is pink, Third Person is purple, Singleplayer is deep purple, Multiplayer is deep blue, and Puzzle is the toned red. The size of each planet is based on the amount of games I own in that particular genre (conversion is 193 games to 1.93 scale). A planet gets a ring if I have played over a hundred hours of 1 game in that genre (I converted by removing the \u201chundred\u201d value and moving the decimal back by 1, 109.5 = .95). In the center of the solar system is a yellow cube that represents my subjective view of each genre. This is also why the rings are yellow as well, as I believe my bias towards a certain game\/genre has had a significant impact on how much time I spend playing such a game. It is a cube as opposed to a sphere to represent how as an entertainment consumer, I am constrained by my own biases and the types of media I am willing to consume. The inspiration of the solar system came from my interest in science fiction. The closest piece that I would say inspired this work would be the game No Man\u2019s Sky, as the idea came to me when I was playing the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After todays class, we learned how to make our Max Sketches more visually involved. How can I make my design feel more animated, or expressive?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
