Plan game scene !

Is your team game a good learning game ? Why ? Yes , because , we're going to put a lot of facts  easy ways for them to learn !
what would you add to the Hobo's Journey game to improve it ? Some of the words hang off the page & it kinda seems incomplete ! 
What would you add to Larry game to improve it ? I would make more levels because , it doesnt seem to go far enough like incomplete !

Imagine Game Idea !

Who are you designing your game for ? Kids/Adults , that don't know a lot about cancer , & want an easy way to learn.
How will you make sure your game is not hurtful to other groups ? I will only put the information about cancer so no other topic will be incorporated , & therefore hurt .
What will the game teach your player about the topic ?A lot of facts & Personal information about how they get through it so if they have a family member & that;s why there learning about it then they'll be more prepared .
If you are making a social issue game , how will you show multiple perspectives ? I will put , in the perspective , of the person who has cancer & also the person that's dealing with a family member with cancer , maybe even a doctors point of view ?
Where does your game happen ? It might take place in a hospital because , there's a lot of points of views in there . Maybe even  home in the end , to sow how the patient deals with recovery or something ?
How will this setting add to the learning experience ? It will give them a thought of respect , to show what they go through at hospitals getting hooked up to things , having limited access to things , & even recovering , with worries & bad thoughts !
How does the game world teach your player about this topic ?Gives a lot more information , in a small way , & is way more fun playing a game then sitting down listening to a lecture about cancer .
What happens in the world that helps the player learn ? The characters in our game will be a lot more open then , in the real world because , we control what they say , but , also we dont through a bunch of crazy things in there .
How does the player use what they learn to make something happen in the game ?They will use the information the character opens up about , & the nformation we put in on the side likes facts and things like that !
Why is your game a better way of learning this topic then a quiz ? Because , quiz's aren't fun! & this game will be.

Choosing game topic .

We choose this game topic because , 2 of us had cancer as an option we were kinda jumbled together . We didn't really have something in common on this subject . We worked together by just asking if we wanted to do that topic and agreeing with what one an other had to say !

Cancer Connection

The reason i want to do Cancer Connection , is because , i wouldn't want to have cancer & have no one there to support me in any way so , this is my way  of supporting them. Some kids are as young as 1, when they get diagnosed with cancer its heartbreaking for families , and the child may or may not live , they're bodies might not handle that kind of pain. So i'm going to create a game to help educate people in my community about cancer. Some of my game ideas are to put extra comments on the side , well more like facts , about cancer , then have mini levels throughout the game so that they can also have fun while they learn a little about this disease!
