Identify common game genres and discuss their changes over the history of the industry.
Certain genres are found more frequently during certain time periods and typically built using one kind of environment (i.e. 2D top-down or 3D ground-up) than another. Write a brief paper explaining which game environment each genre typically works best on and why. Discuss how hardware and other aspects might have played a role in the evolution of different genres over the past fourty years. Try to answer the following question: how do the environment’s features (e.g. graphic style, mechanics, player controls) and the way that it is used facilitate or hinder the gameplay in each genre?
When finished with your short paper over game environment and genre, submit it to Schoology and post a PDF version to your blog. It is due by Friday, September 28.
