Statement+of+Intent

The Statement of Intent is basically a summary of what you plan to do in total about your senior project. It is my goal to learn about online games and to be able to make them for personal or commercial use.

__1. Describe the steps you will need to do to complete your project.__ I will need to locate a Mentor and other sources of information on how to make online games, then I will need to learn from the sources (Either the Mentor personally tutoring or a book.) and begin making games. Slowly but surely making my game more and more complicated.

__2. What subject(s) or topic(s) do you expect to learn about through your experience?__ Programming and Video Game Graphics Designing.

__3. What skills or understanding will you develop and/or demonstrate?__ Work Ethic, responsibility, attention to detail, organization, and critical thinking.

__4. What kind of product do you envision?__ A Video Game made by me, and the ability to commercially make games. The style of games are currently unknown, but insights are being made.

__5. Where would you look for a mentor?__ Various technical institutes or colleges, it is possible to email a professor and set up a Skype or communicate with them in some way whenever I need assistance. Also my Dad is a friend with someone who does Computer programming for a living, and it is highly possible that he can help me.

__6. What do you hope to learn about yourself?__ How good I actually am with technology and how well I can understand all of the processes this will require.

__7. What most excites you about your proposed Endeavor?__ The ability to make my own games. I always loved playing video games, from really complicated games on the Wii or Nintendo 64 to silly little games I can play on gaming sites. It's always been a small dream of mine to actually make these games like others do, and have people play them and enjoy them. And I could easily make a good profit if the games are good enough.

=Research Topics=
 * 1) How to make a videogame in it's essence.
 * 2) How to make suitable graphics.
 * 3) How videogame music is created and used.

=Budget Proposal= The Budget of this program varies depending on what program I use to build games, if I need to buy new computers or computer systems (For example, I might need to buy a iPad or new processors for my computer.) and for the information needed to know how to make games. The money for information can be in the form of gas for my car to meet with my mentor, or simply buying a book that'll teach me. The Books will cost roughly $100 maximum. While the other technologies can range all the way to $500 dollars.
