User Experience:

Access: Due to the location-based brief, we decided that instead of accomodating to all types of technology such an computers and ipads, we believed that mobile phones were the easiest for access. Our game screen resolution is designed to fit in any touch-screen phone ranging from Android phones to Oppo, Windows Phone, Google Phone and Apple from the iPhone 4 an upwards of those models. 

Languages: Our application can be altered to fit 7 different languages. These choices were based off the statistics according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2007) 1. English (70%) 2. Mandarin (2.5%) 3. Arabic (1.4%) 4. Cantonese (1.2%) 5. Italian (1.2%) 6. French ( - ) 7. American/Canadian (Keyboard style/spelling)

Prototype:

Image 1: The login screen, with a username and password and the ability to log in via Facebook and Twitter. The application icon is depicted minimalist in the centre of the Screen.

Image 2: This is the sky-view game screen, the avatar in the centre is an example image and depicts exactly where the player is standing. The person icon in the bottom left hand corner is a street-view option.

Image 3: The third image depicts the drop down menu including Twitter and Facebook links, a ‘community’ link, a message bank, a barcode scanner, back to home and sale (shop) links.

Sound Designs:

As the avatar is wandering through the online world and map, there will be no sound or music as an important part of gaming from our perspective is being able to listen to our own music. There will be sound effects for when a mini-game appears on the map as well as sounds for when a button is pressed or touched there will be an iOS10 *click* noise.

Look, Sound & Feel:

Narrative Structure: The approach to a narrative structure is through the addition of levelling and a scoreboard which changes the users’ level throughout the game. Each level that rises means another step to creating a greener, cleaner world. Our story is that at this point in time, we are on a decline in the way the world tackles issues like global warming, rising pollution and landfill. The aim of the game is for each individual to create their own story in the online world that will in time promote their daily lifestyle choices and create a narrative in the outside world that leads to positive change.

This is the score symbol and the leveling bar on the game which depicts the stage in the game where you are.

Look, Sound & Feel:

Game play:

We want our game play to feel a lot like real life in the way that the avatar moves around the streets. There is an option for street-view where the third-person view follows the individuals avatar around the streets as they play. The mini-games will always have the avatar in the screen so that the player will be able to visualise their online world and therefore vision themselves carrying out the tasks in the game. Visualisation of a real-world action in the form of a game is important for our age group because it will enable them to view every day actions as ones that appear game-like and ‘fun’. There will be a constant minimalist cartoon-like feel throughout the game as this is simple and does not create too much of a barrier between the player and the individual as a human being.
