Game Learning Topic

I chose safe driving as a mobile game topic because I feel that it would make an interesting Adventure/Action game. Also, it would be ideal for a mobile game because the controls would be easy and so would the scrolling background.
I chose the topic because I, as a teenager, am interested in knowing more about being a safe driver, and I am certain that other teenagers feel the same way.
I would use the scrolling background in my game by having the car continuously moving through out the game and the car will be jumping to avoid the bad objects that prevent people from being a safe driver. I will also allow the player to tap on the facts boxes that are falling from the sky in order to learn facts about safe driving.

Imagine Team Game

In my game, I believe the age group best suited for this type of mobile game is: Teens.
I think that teens will benefit most from this type of game because it teaches about Safe Driving.
The skill ability required for this game would be: Being able to focus on many things at once. Such as, being able to collect the good things and avoid the bad things, and obtain the boxes falling from the sky with parachutes in order to learn the facts of driving, and finally to watch for the speed limits.
My game will take place on a road where the player will have to obtain different objects and avoid others.
The setting will just be a road with a scrolling background with trees and possibly other cars also.
The game will teach the player about Safe Driving because they will have to know the good things to do while driving and the bad things to do while driving. There will also be facts DROPPING FROM THE SKY!!!

Mobile Game Plan:

  My vision for my game is to help the player succeed at being a safe driver. They will learn the "good" and the "bad" things to do while driving. There will also be facts about safe driving and how to be a safe driver. Throughout the game the player will be faced with obstacles that they must overcome in order to earn a score worthy of being a safe driver. I also vision my game being very helpful to new teen drivers who need a little more information on the topic.
  The thing that excites me most about my game is: Helping Teen Drivers Understand Safety When Driving.
I want teens (and even adults) to be safer drivers on the roads and know what to do while driving and how to do it. There will informational facts about driving and I might even put in some statistics to help teens realize what happens when you're not a safe driver.

Choosing a Learning Topic!

   I chose safe driving as a Game Topic because I feel that teens need more information about safe driving. When teens get their learner's permit, they are all excited about being able to drive that they may not take all the safety precautions needed. Also, it's important to know what to do and not to do when driving!
   We want the player to learn what is safe and what is unsafe when driving. In order to avoid distractions, they have to know what the distractions are before-hand.
 

Learn to Design for Mobile.

  For the Console game, I would design an awesome action filled adventure game with realistic graphics and backgrounds! I would have button combos and enemies attacking the player. I would try to make the greatest game EVER!
  For the Mobile game, I would tone down on the action and make it more simple. I would probably have the player run through courses and not have an enemies attacking because then they would need to press buttons in order to perform attacks, and we all know that having buttons on a Mobile device is VERY complicated.

The main difference between the two games would be Action. I wouldn't put a lot of action into the mobile device, but I would for the console. Also, I would like to have the mobile game be simpler.

PlayStation 4!!

This PlayStation 4 is going above and beyond. Technology wise, anyway. This new, updated Sony product has improved on it's features. Touch screen controller, speakers built in and it's also much sleeker than the original controller. Then there's the game system itself. There is now more memory, 8GB to be exact, and there is also there the option to play the game that you are downloading at the same time!! Finally, we all know what it's like to be downloading an AWESOME game, but then you have to leave!! Normally, you have to turn off the console, stop downloading and leave, but now, you can turn the console off and still download games!! Sony sure has come a long way!
