Disaster in Ethiopia
1. Disaster in Ethiopia 2. Designer: Katie Donohue 3. The tragic disasters in Ethiopia in which the players must overcome. 4. **Age:** 7-14 5. **Goal:** To let players understand how much of a struggle these Ethiopians have to go through and how hard it is to overcome their challenges without any help. 6. **Core Mechanic:** Surviving 7. **Elements of the game:** 8. **How to get started:** Go to gamestar mechanics and search the game; start from level one. 9. **Rules:** 10. **Pace:** Medium paced 11. **Challenges:** the game is timed and you only have one life In this game the players in which I'm challenging need to overcome frightening challenges that all normal Ethiopians need to face each and everyday. These challenges will be represented by the frags in the game, using Gamestar Mechanics as my digital version. My frags represent the natural disasters like, hurricanes, famines, poverty, tornadoes, and bad climate issues. The main goal of this game will be to let these players see how hard it is to beat and overcome the disasters without great amounts of help. The audience that I am creating this for would be around the age group of, 10-14. I think this because younger kids are sometimes not educated well enough to be fully aware of these issues that are going on anywhere that they don't care or ever hear much about. This game's core mechanic is probably going to be "surviving." I think this action is correct because, this is one of the main features of the Ethiopian's lives. Some of the elements in this game are going to be:
 * Many paths in which the players must choose
 * One player
 * A few fails/errors
 *  Resting stops for the players to calm down and take everything in
 *  Sprites
 *  Frags
 *  Points
 *  Health Factors
 * You can't move back into the same direction that you were just in
 * Once you loose one life, your game is over
 * You need to have a time limit
 * You need collect enough points in order to win
 * You must not the player can't edit my game
