Today in Globaloria we gave a presentation of a description of our game...and now we have to answer these questions about our game...
- WHO are you designing your game for?
This game doesn't really have a set age for a player...anyone who can get onto the computer and find the game can play...you have to be able remember things and put what you learn to use...you don't have to have any knowledge, because at the beginning of the game we are going to give a brief description about the oil spill and everything going on with that...
- WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic?
Our game is going to teach the player about the BP oil spill...it's going to brief them on how the oil spill is effecting the animals around it...throughout the game we are going to list facts and then quiz them so they can get to each of the different levels...
- WHERE does your game happen?
The game is going to basically be in the ocean...we are not sure if we are going to use a boat in the game or if it is just going to be under the water...
This setting is going to teach the players what types of habitats the oil spill is destroying, and what types of animals belong to those habitats...
- HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
It teaches the player about the habitats the oil spill is destroying...
- What happens in the world that helps the player learn?
You are going to have to clean up all the oil, and we were thinking about putting a couple animals caught in the oil so that you have to rescue them...
- How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?
The player is going to be asked a question/s at the end of each level...
- WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?
The game let's the player go in and play and make them think they are doing something about the oil spill...when really they are just learning about it like they would on a quiz...
