Creativity and New Media


Minecraft is a platform/game that I foster my creativity. It is a sand-box like game that allows players to create anything they like with the blocks provided. You get to work with other players to build structures and the game allows players to communicate with each other.
Maplestory is a MMORPG that takes palace in an virtual world where players can freely travel around the world and interact with each other or NPCs. I would say Maplestory is a form a new media that fosters creativity because it allows you to alter the appearance and abilities of your character. There are many different ways to to be creative within the game. You could also establish relationships with other players. Collaboration plays a big part within the game. In order to defeat difficult bosses, players would have to gather a group of people and work together with them. There is also an community within the game guilds allow players to feel the sense of belonging while also allowing players to make friends online.

Similar to this New Media course, it is enjoyable to be able to manage our own blogs, use different new media technologies, and comment on each other work. I feel like if this were to be implemented in other classes, it would be easier for students to communicate and provide feedback to each other.  Another suggestion is for the Baruch community to use a platform that everyone can use to ask questions and get answers, something like a school-wide forum. Having an official forum will give students to ask and receive answers about the school quickly rather than having trouble finding someone to ask in person.  The last suggestion I would make is for Baruch to have a live chat for urgent problems. Sometimes emailing offices...

Wiki So Far

For the Wiki, I am planning on contributing to What is an MMORPG? by adding a game called Onmyoji to Popular MMORPGs. It is described as a MMORPG based in a world of inspired by Japanese mythology. I will be going over the plot, characters, game play, and many other things that you can do within the game. I am also planning to add to the MapleStory section of the same Wiki page. To do so, I would have to do more research on both games to make sure that they are updated with the current information.
