Replacement Review - Private I
In looking over my cumulative class blogs, I realised the absence of my review of a previous year’s proposal.
Not sure what happened, it was all so long ago when I was new to Tumblr! Anyway, here’s a short replacement, attempted to be written from the perspective of someone who’s not just completed their own proposal.
I chose, at random, PROJECT EXAMPLE 4 – Private-I.
It was both interesting and warming to know that people throughout the years, ours included, are so interested in making apps and games that are designed to both entertain and educate. We seem to collectively be saying that it is no longer enough to simply entertain, especially when this new medium is available to us, one which has the real capacity for change and social good. Improving people’s lives through fun and leisure is an opportunity we won’t ignore.
This right away was a positive for me when looking at Private-I. The National Trust and Historic Scotland are organisations near essential to the cultural growth of Scotland. Essential to maintaining and protecting the natural landscape, a task they can only succeed in with the help of the people, educated people.
Secondly, I found it interesting that it combines the real world with the virtual world. VR being something that this time around, so far, has not gone away and seems to be making real breakthroughs in becoming an everyday item in our lives.
The proposal was easy to read and easy to visualise. The use of simple, popular comparisons helps in this regard. For instance, game mechanics could be complicated with a limited number of words to explain, so saying “It’s like the classic board game, Guess Who but with…” is a simple shorthand way to help us understand how it will play.
Finally, that its primary target is younger people and people who love History, hopefully, through apps like this, that will eventually mean everybody!
I don’t have an iPhone though, so not me. 😊
