Reflection on Game Idea



  • WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.)

I am mainly designing this game for kids and adults. Kids around the age of 8-17 years old. The player can enjoy the game by being very mature. I exclusively don't design this game for younger kids because they might not be ready for this, they wouldn't be able to understand. 

  • WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)

My game will teach the player about Teen Suicide. It will provide everything they need to know about it. It will teach them how?, why?, what? and who? What's the cause for this action. How we can help? and who it can affect?

  • WHERE does your game happen?
    • Describe the world you will design for your game.
    • How will this setting add to the learning experience?

My game takes place in school, home, bathroom, most of all a solitary world to a teen. A world where a bunch exist but a thought of no existence of somebody. This setting relates to the learning experience by being able to express yourself with your surroundings and world.  


  • HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
    • What happens in the world that helps the player learn?
    • How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?


In this world the player learns how to deal with his feelings and all the choices he has. Whether he chooses to go the right or wrong way towards life and future. It teaches them what to chose that is best for them. The actions that are caused help the player learn. The errors he commits make him learn and provide help to the player in actual life.


  • WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?

Kids now a days are more likely to understand something visually. A quiz may not provide information for them while answering questions but a game can guide them through. That way they can understand what is happening.

Marching Penguins

Marching Penguins

1. Some of the challenges the penguins have to overcome are being aware of predators, sustaining the bad weather, keeping track wit others and last surviving for your womb.

2. It challenges them in many different ways for example: in their habitat there exists a cold weather that can affect their health. Not enough food that will feed them, they don't live in a safe habitat.

3. The type of adaptations that penguins adapt to be safe are keeping up with their group, not separating from others, not eating daily, huddling together to be warm.

4. There is no sunlight in the period of time because it's on a tilt. The sun is in a different direction where Antarctica isn't. It will affect the climate because it will become colder. The sun is the one that provides heat. 

5. It can harm them by about -100 / -200 degrees below zero , that is extreme cold weather. Their bodies can't sustain that type of temperature. They can but not beyond that point.
