When most people think of a gamer, they probably think of a nerdy, male teen sitting for hours in a chair or on a couch staring at a screen, mashing wildly at their controller. What most people don't know, is that 44% of gamers are women, and only 22% of game designers are women. The gaming industry needs to find ways to attract more women and not by making games more girly, for example not adding tons of pink and ponies. The gaming industry needs to make games unisex. A great example of a unisex game is Minecraft. It has different components> It does just revolve around action and explosions, you can experiment with blocks and building your dream house, or work with redstone and build a working computer. This game does just appeal to the stereotypical male or female.
-Games need to be more unisex. -The gaming community needs more females. -The gaming industry needs more female game designers.

This year in game design, I have learned a lot of new techniques and tools in 3DS Max. I have also gotten more experience in tools I learned last year, such as working with lights. I think my class will use these new tools and techniques to make more realistic scenes and animations in 3DS Max, involving light, and forces such as gravity and wind. I have also learned about new objects you can use such as premade trees, doors, and windows. With the trees, you can choose from many types of trees to use in your scene. In addition with the doors and windows, you can change many variables on the doors besides width, length, and height such as the frame size of the window, how many panes it has, and same with the door. You can also alter how the door opens, it can be hinged, sliding, or a double door. My favorite tool this year is the forces tool. You can use it to add effects like gravity and wind to a scene, which can alter how objects act in the scene, such as how a ball drops, water flows, or which direction and intensity a flag waves. You can change how strong these tools are by changing the strength, and with the wind, how turbulent it is. By the end of the year, I hope to learn more about these tools and maybe learn some new ones too.
