Imagine Team Game

Who/Player Age Group:
This game is going to be designed for all people that want to have a healthy life. Everyone has to take their own decisions and there is no pressure taken place.

What: What will the player learn about your game topic?
The player will learn lots of ways to prevent themselves from having diabetes. We all know that diabetes is a problem in the body where their glucose sugar is high. Others might include obesity or hereditary from family. Diabetes is a very serious problem and we want the percentage to go lower. Healthy foods and healthy activities, is a healthy life.

Where: Where does your game take place?
My game takes place in many places. Humans go and come back from many different places. They don't do anything, they do many things. Two of them are eating and spend time with activities. They are not conscious about what they put into their body. They are not conscious about the importance of having regular physical activities. The setting determines what their life will be in the future.

How: How does your game teach the player of your topic?
My game will teach players my game topic by knowing how to prevent themselves from having diabetes. You will have to collect healthy foods and healthy activities. As you all know, the player will have to avoid the unhealthy foods and physical inactivity. There are many ways where you can prevent yourself from having diabetes, but there are also many ways where you can get yourself have diabetes.

Game Learning Topic

  • Explain the game topic you chose for your action mobile game.
  • Tell me why you chose this topic.
  • How will you use the game mechanics such as, moving, scrolling, avoiding and collecting objects - to educate players about your learning topic?
The game topic that I chose for my action mobile game was Healthy Living: Diabetes. I chose this topic because it's really important that you prevent yourself from having diabetes. It's been tested that diabetes can cause strokes, heart attacks, heart disease, and can cause even death. More African Americans and Hispanics have the higher risk from having Type 2 Diabetes. People most commonly have Type 2 Diabetes because of their age, family history of diabetes, or physical inactivity. This game will surely teach other players to take care of themselves because the body is one of the most wonderful creations that exist in the entire world, but there are times when people don't remember that. Hopefully, this will teach them to take care of themselves.
I will use the game mechanics by collecting all the possible things that can help you prevent having diabetes. This is by collecting healthy foods and physical activity. The player will have to avoid unhealthy foods and physical inactivity, these can lead you to have an unhealthy life. The moving is basically yourself. You can travel many places and eat, but you ignore the fact of HEALTH. This will help players know what many people are facing in their daily lives.

Mobile- Plan Game Scene

Write about your vision for this game. What excites you the most?
My vision of the game will be: you are at a store where you can buy all sorts of food. There are lots of healthy foods, but there are also lots and lots of unhealthy foods. Your objective will be to collect healthy objects and avoid at all costs unhealthy foods. If you get all possible points, then you proceed to the next level. The next level, you are at home and there are lots of activities that you can do, but let's say, you can't decide. You want to collect all outdoor activities that require movement. You wan to avoid indoor activities where you don't sweat or don't do any movement. That's a basic idea that I have for my game.
What excites me the most is to have players know this issue. I decided to focus on diabetes because people don't realize what they are putting into their bodies and they will end up having strokes, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and death. This game wills surely teach on how to prevent yourself from having this problem.

Choose Team Game Topic

The topic that I am going to focus on is Healthy Living about Diabetes, on how to prevent from having this condition. Diabetes is a serious problem because you can live with this your whole life. People usually slow down this condition by taking pills and taking shots, but nobody really wants that. People should learn to take care of themselves by doing activities that will prevent them from having diabetes. That way, they can have a peace and tranquility and will even enjoy what they are eating or doing. Well, anyways, my game will teach players to AVOID the different things that can cause you from having diabetes. Not only that, the player will have to COLLECT things such as, fruits, vegetables, and outdoor activities that require lots of movement. People who have diabetes are mostly obese because they don't really move. This game will really teach how to prevent yourself from having diabetes.

Learn To Design For Mobile

Describe two designs for your Side Scrolling Action game - one for mobile and one for console.
Well, I guess that creating a Side Scrolling Action game will be difficult at first. If I would, then I would just make a game like Angry Birds. This seems like a very smart idea because we all know that creating buttons in a mobile game, can be very, um, complicated. Because of this, I am going to add less action for the mobile game. For the Scrolling Action game, there is going to be like action where the player just has to pass some courses. I will try my best to make the background as realistic as possible.
Explain the differences between the two and why you made those decisions.
Well, one difference that I can see between a console and a mobile game, is that the console has a controller. Most of us, it's easier to play a game with a controller that controls the game. A mobile game or device, well, it's much difficult. You have difficulties with the buttons because maybe they are too close or too small to touch them. For me, I would choose a console system because it's an easier way to enjoy games...with no problems!

PlayStation 4

Well, this is actually really...fascinating! Although I don't have a Play Station, this seems very thrilling for players that love to play them. As you can see in the pictures, it's really no difference, but somehow it looks different and way cooler. One time I played the Play Station, and it just seemed normal, but yet, fun. Imagine  the new high-tech Play Station 4!?! Big fans of the Play Station, must be very excited and can't wait for this smart device. Anyways, I just think that this is one of the million ways that technology is getting more advanced at times. More than that, people are thrilled and happy.
                                                     HAPPY PLAY STATION 4!
