Task 4: Conclusion Best Design (500 words)

Explain (justify) your decision as a concluding paragraph. Full Description (Maybe a hybrid of different designs)

I think the majority of these designs are very good, like Design #1, Design #2, Design #3 and Design #5. All of the mentioned above fulfill my most of my design specifications and should be appropriate games, except for Design #4 which was supposed to be a mystery game. I think it would not make a good game, because it only meets one of my requirements out of 6. It doesn’t have a level and point system, it doesn’t teach anything except logic and common sense, I am not sure if the information would be accurate, since I am just a student who doesn’t know too much about the world and politics, it can’t be multiplayer and the content might be too inappropriate for some ages, but I think one could be interested in this game, since some people like solving mysteries. In my opinion neither of my math games would be very entertaining, even though they meet almost all of my Design Specifications, since a large amount of people in this school don’t like math class, especially doing math outside of the classroom. Yes, it is appropriate for all ages. Yes, it is educational. Yes, it does get the player(s) frustrated and competitive, but overall just don’t think people would enjoy my game very much and I don’t think I would even enjoy creating it. Out of all of my ideas, the Trivia Game and the Language game are the best choice for me. They fulfill all Design Specifications I set for myself: They’d have a level and point system, since when answering a question correctly, you receive one point and the difficulty increases with every question you answer correctly. Both games are educational, teaching basic knowledge and random yet important facts about our world or teaching vocabulary and/ or grammar of a new language. They would contain accurate and up to date information, since I would easily be able to look up information and speak the language fluently. Both games could be multi and single player, because it is always more fun to compete with someone, especially in Trivia Games. Everyone could play either game, since being a school project I wouldn’t add inappropriate content either way. When going to a local arcade, for example Timezone in Ayala, you see a lot of people from all ages play the trivia game with family, friends or even complete strangers. Last but not least, I feel like this game will be liked (at least to an extent), since as mentioned above, you can’t really go wrong with a trivia game, since the modern human is very competitive and likes to play simple games with family, friends and strangers. I think I should merge Trivia and Language to create a hybrid of the two, so I can learn a new language while getting to know culture and basic knowledge more and more. Two in one! Get questions asked in one language and answer in another with family, friends and more! Learn a language in a fun and new way!
