week 3 questions

dumb ways to die

dumb ways to die is a game about how to save people from making dumb decisions. the game is fast paced and in a more simple art style. the game is supposed to show you how simple things can keep you safe. the game works well in the thing it is trying to promote and show awareness about.

fake it to make it

fake it to make it is all about showing people how easy it is to make and promote fake headlines an media. it also teaches how to make fake media, but it makes it very clear that it is not a good thing. it is just to show awareness.

cast your vote

cast your vote shows how bad it can be to vote just to vote. it shows that it is a good idea to do research and be an informed voter, but it also shows how it can be easy to be influenced by the media.

Gris

gris is an amazing game about grief. it shows how slow the recovery can be and how its better to take it slow an even small accomplishments can be a big step in the healing process. beautiful graphics that help you feel what the character feels without any dialogue.

ideas

1. a game where we play as an animal and have to live life as that animal and help to keep this animals kin alive. their is not many things you can do with your character but explore and hunt or graze to keep your animal alive. these aspects of the game will get harder as the game progresses and the environment starts to change. it will start as weather conditions and get into habitat loss and hunters encroaching into your territory.
2. a mini games based game where you will play simple min games as a character with memory loss and each mini game completed it will bring back fragments of their past, slowly showing their life they forgot and the traumas that have lead them to this state of amnesia.
3. you are a CEO that has to make many decisions for their company but as the game progresses you get visions of what your decisions are doing to the people it affects, employees, customers, coworkers. you can chose to make better decisions to help people and make a difference or keep going the direction you are going because they are making you money.
4. a game where the main character is neurodivergent. in the game you have to go about your normal day and make decisions for what to do in certain scenarios, dealing with social exhaustion, sensory overload, executive dysfunction, and other struggles and experiencing how making certain decisions can either be beneficial for your health or can harm it. the game will have a bar that shows how much energy they have that day and how much energy you have is dependent on what you have done in previous days and you can go over the allotted amount with detrimental consequences. during your play thought their will be cut scene where you hear some of the common things people with these problems are told by people how don’t understand or have the same problems they do. and their is nothing you can really do to stop from getting these cutscenes.
5. similar to my last idea but having the character play mini games during decisions and playing the mini games in a completionism fashion can lead to the burnout of energy but some mini games are more important and need more energy to complete so you need to pick and chose what mini games you just try and complete with the bare minimum and what games you can perfectionist. how you play these games will also give achievements that give the mentality that neuro typical people try and give to neurodivergent people. the game is meant to make you frustrated with the fact you aren’t able to really do any more then you are doing.
