Hi Everyone,
For this week’s game I chose the game called The Sweatshop by LittleLoud. This game provides players with an understanding of how the sweatshop works. In order for this game to function you need workers of all groups including children and woman. The game starts off very simple and easy. You have to set up your avatars around the conveyorbelt. Each avatar has a certain skill they specialize in such as shoe maker or hat maker. As items move down the conveyor belt the avatar has to process the goods and package them up. You earn points for every item you complete however if you fail to complete the packaging on an item it counts against you. If you fail more than a certain amount then you must start that round over again. As the game progress you get more avatars with special skills including children. All of them work at a different speed so the player must strategically decide where they want to place the characters in order to be most effective. In addition to new avatars the game also provides things to make the workers happy and productive such as water, radios, and fans. if the workers get tired they stop working which results in increased amount of fails.The difficulties in this game is to manage the work environment for the workers as they get tired quickly and to ensure the work gets done. The more completed items you hve the more money you get. the money allows you to buy more workers and items to make them happy so strategy is important in this game.This game has only one possible way to get the final destination so for this reason the narrative is linear. Overall, this game is fun to play and keeps the player engaged because the desire to win keeps growing with each round.
