Assignment done on following blog post: http://baghnakh.blogspot.com/2009/08/september-12th-is-piece-of.html

CHOOSING A TOPIC assignments

1. Explore Subjects, Topics and Concepts that Matter to You

• Brainstorm specific topics and concepts in each subject area that you want to explore in a game. Think about something that is really hard to learn. How a game can help represent this complex concept, and explain it in a playful and experiential way.

• Now choose ONE Concept to Focus On: Maybe environment/education

• • What are the most important facts people should know about your topic? It'll probably be about invasive species. So some ugly beastie will be killing off the native wildlife.
  • What actions should people do in order to understand this topic? Umm... I dunno
  • What is a positive outcome that could happen if people learned more about this topic? They should at least understand why fire ants and carp are everywhere. The game'll be more dramatic (fun).

2. Identify a Game Genre For Exploring Your Topic

• Genre 1:
  • Why I chose it: Action/RPG

• Genre 2:
  • Why I chose it:

3. Find Content Resources for Your Game Topic
