I really didn't understand the whole concept of this game. It asked me a random question about a random fish and I would get it wrong, and once I got it wrong an annoying "WRONG!" message popped up and gave me no hint on the right answer. So I repeatedly got the wrong answer as if the game expects me to be some kind of ichthyologist. After I had no choices left to choose but the right answer an annoying eye blinding rainbow color "CORRECT!" popped up. Then I immediately closed the game in disgust. How this is a social issue game, your guess is good as mine. I give this game a 3/10.
Non student - What would you do?
Unless you have the memory of an elephant you can't remember the 20 pages of text in the beginning about the story. Anyhow, the game itself had a good point what to do under peer pressure and what not. I give it a 7/10.
Hi Dakota. Great blog post. It sounds like you are really seeing what you like and don't like about these games - that will help you as you start to design and develop your own game.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your progress as the year goes on. Keep working hard! : )

David is right; one of the easiest ways to help develop your game is to look at how you don't want your own game to be. It's easy to say how you'd like it to be, but then that leaves a lot of holes in your plan that you might not expect, so it is also useful to say what you don't want your game to be.
