For my peer reviews I was only able to review two blog posts as my third sceduled review didn’t have a URL for me to find their blog. However I offered constructive feedback to both peers on their excellent Digital Artefact ideas, and I am interested to see if they will take my advice in the development of their Artefact.
Kyle is developing a DA that follows the way Grand Theft Auto has influenced modern free-roam sandbox games. I really enjoy GTA V and would like to see what his research uncovers. I mentioned I would like to see how GTA games of the past not only influenced other external free-roam games, but how they evolved into the current installment of GTA V. I would like to see what changes the developers at Rockstar made to create one of the most popular games in modern history. I drew on BCM 215 course content on how the game archaeology of the GTA titles of the past have influenced the current game media climate.

My second review was to Breanna who is creating a series of Youtube Videos on the success and influence of Runescape, which is a massively popular fantacy MMORPG (Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game). The game was first developed in 2001, and has aged like a fine cheese, with players all around the world still logging on every day. Breanna has an excellent plan of attack with her DA, I applauded her on her thorough planning and offered some advice for her to think about. I mentioned that it would be very interesting to see how themes of Runescape have trickled down and influenced other MMORPG’s. I also said that I thought it would be important to include how the Runescape community has influenced the success of the game, and how they have remained dedicated to the 20yr old game. https://drawoncecreatetwice.art.blog/2021/08/20/old-school-runescape-community-involvment-makes-for-a-better-gaming-experience/comment-page-1/#comment-11
