think I can get 7.

(copy your Design Specification here)

The game is easy to play
I give myself 6 because I give the information about
how to play this game, and my friend also play it they
said it was easy to play, but my game has some bug,
so I give myself 6.
I will test my game and after the test, I will write a report about this game( bad and good
where need change or where need improve.
I think I can get 8 because every time when I change my game or add something of my
game, then I will give my game report and improve my to better, so I give my 8.

Let the user know about what is my game

I give myself 7 because after the user play my game
when they finish the game I ask them do they know
what is my game talking about, they guys

My game will look like in the grave

I give myself 8 because of my game background is a
dark color and in a grave, the picture then can know it is

picture to easily understand. game, people will fall into it, just like I am in the
game.

How did creating a game change the way you expressed the ideas in your narrative?

When designing a game, consider whether the game connects my story, the scene, the characters and the difficulty of the game, and
whether I can complete the production.

What are the three most important skills you used during this unit? Explain:

● Goal setting ● Research ● How to Make the Game Connect

Stories
 This unit we worked on the ATL SKILLS of INFORMATION LITERACY and GOAL SETTING. Which one was the hardest? Why?

This unit I found the skill of how to make the game connect the story to be most challenging because of making a game is easy but I need to
connect my story is hard.
(sentence starter: “This unit I found the skill of ______ to be most challenging because of ______ .”)

What did you learn about COMMUNICATION in this unit?

I use the game to communicate with the player.

What one change you would make to this unit?

Do let the game connect the story
