Gameloft Game Design Test

Rebecca Vessal

As I was rummaging through my flash drive for potential items I could show for my Microsoft final rounds interview for PM intern position, I came across my old Gameloft game design test I completed in the beginning of my last winter quarter of 2011.  I was just starting to learn how to design a really fun game in my Game Design & Development I class using design principles used by professionals.  Even though I didn’t get the internship, the whole process of going through the design test taught me invaluable lessons of how a professional game designer thinks.

Feel free to look at the game design test I submitted and give me feedback.  I am very open to suggestions on how to design fun games for a targeted audience.

Here is a link to the game design test I submitted.

Here are some screenshots I created with Flash CS5.5.  All of the artwork was done by me.

Billiards with Smooth Japanese Jazz Music

Rebecca Vessal

Hey guys!

I finished making a Flash billiards game for my Data Structures and Algorithms I (DSA 1) class.  It has smooth Japanese jazz music playing in the background.  Japanese jazz music credits goes to lastsamurai55 on YouTube and all other sound effects come from soundBible.com.

Here is a link to a video of me playing it.  As you can probably tell, I’m not a total expert on billiards.  I only played it once in my life.  Basically, I play billiards like I play mini-golf on a bad day. hahaha.

I began uploading videos of my portfolio games, so that potential employers could see them.  I am still looking for a summer internship and am willing to work anywhere in the U.S.

I made significant progress towards the RIT campus map app my partner and I developed in Flash AIR for the iPad and iPhone.  I worked on a majority of the code while my partner, Nate, worked on the design for it.  I’ll post pictures of it soon.  Right now, it allows the user to search for any RIT building by its name, acronym, and number and tells the user if they input an invalid search.  Next step will be to get the current user’s location and spruce up the way the information is being displayed to the user.  For now, all of the information and the picture of the buildings are in the Google info window.

Anyways, I gotta go to DSA 1 and then to the RIT Creativity Fair.  Hope to score a video game, web design, or web development internship there.
