FA16-Project19 Week 9

The game is called Artistic Relief. This game is trying to teach people positives ways to release stress. This game attempts to create an alternative creative approach for stress relief. The player has a lot of interaction because it was created for the player to be hands on in the experience. The cognitive processes that this game is most affecting is the cognitive process. I say this because his game is attempting to create new learning processes.

Only one person is allowed too play the game so there is no player interaction. The primary objective of this game is to help stress relief in a positive way. The rules of the game is to collect all of the art supplies you want with the $250 you are initially given. You earn more money the more art you submit. All the resources you need are at the supply store you can purchase such as markers, paint, pencils, oil pastels, etc. No conflict takes place in this game. This game prevents players from behaving a certain way because it was made to target cognition and teach players new ways to be stress free. It might limit fun if players don’t believe they are creative and put little to no effort into playing. The game ends after the hour is up. The outcome doesn’t conflict with the objective unless the player needs more time.

In a sense, the player is the main character because of however their feelings are being projected into the game. The player doesn’t necessarily have to master any skills but the more they play the better the will get at whatever they create. There is no fictional world that takes place in this game but you can create fictional art. The general premise of my “story” is that my simulation will help people deal with stress in a positive way. The game is playful because the players can write stories, poems or draw/paint art all on the same canvas. I believe the explores will most likely like this new game because they will learn things from a new perspective. This is not a game created based on conflict so there is no tension or resolution taking place.
