Going along with resources, there were so many that it was hard to find what would be helpful and what was not applicable to my game. I spent a lot of time looking through resources that I didn’t even end up using.  If I had to do this process over again, I wish I knew for 100% sure what my game setup was going to be for the interaction. Knowing that would have saved me a lot of time, instead of jumping around looking at different ideas.  What did you learn from the Construct 3 implementation aspect of the project? The only previous game design that I have had thus far was in this same class.

The platform used to create our narrative game was a lot more user friendly.  Digital Game ...

I also found it helpful to read others designs.  Document your re-envisioned idea (this should be after you get feedback from your peers) Mentor Game Details  Zoombinis Subject area & learning domain: Math and problem solving.

  Game Title Alex’s Journey  Learning Topic/Concept & Learning Objective (minimum of 1) I will be focusing the learning topic on Erikson’s 8 stages of development. Along the storyline, each stage will represent a year. At the start of each stage, Alex will face a choice to make. Based upon their decision, will determine the direction of their next path, and the ending of the story.  Learning Objective: Predict at each stage, what the outcome will be for Alex and his homeland from your choices.  At the end of the game, the students will analyze how their choices along Alex’s journey impacted his development (align to Erikson’s 8 stages of development). Students will be able to describe Erikson’s 8 stages of development and provide examples of it in the real world.  Intended audience for this game will be high school students.
