FMP report 9 (Holiday report)

Over the Easter holiday I've expanded the writing in my FMP, I've written 9 out of 10 reviews for my hall of fame pages (12 was too much).

Furthermore I've written reviews for each game i wanted to review in the magazine and I've added a first impressions page for games i haven't finished yet. I filled this section with a review for dark souls 3, a game I've been playing over the holidays though i still haven't finished it. I also used this experience to construct a discussion around difficulty in games since dark souls is famous for it's challenging difficulty.

In addition i started an article on the history of a game genre called SMUPS (shooting games that were popular in arcades) but i didn't feel i had played enough of these games to give a review from my own perspective. So i scrapped this article and started writing an examination of the metroidvania genre instead because I've played many more games from this area.

FMP report 8

Today i started writing reviews for my magazine, i did this after making a rough paper plan of what my magazine will look like.

Furthermore i decided to start on the reviews now because i think that the writing will be the hardest part of my magazine, in addition the writing must come first so that the design can be stretched around it properly.

I did a rough draft for my hyper light drifter review which i am quite happy about, however i still need to add to it in significant ways e.g. i need to describe the combat more thoroughly.

I also made a list of 12 games for my hall of fame section (which I've renamed the hall of game), this section will be a subjective list of my favourite games.
