Criterion A: Inquiring and Analysing

Concept of the game

At the moment, I am planning to create a fun game using "Scratch" because I like games and I'm kind of familiar with it.

The target user of a game is children from 5 to 12 years old.

Interview to parents of children in the kindergarten.

What type of game do you want/not want your child to play?

I don't want my child to play games that contains a lot of offensive contents, but I will allow him to play educational games and games with appropriate contents.

What do you think of computer games?

I don’t think computer games are good for children. I would rather want my child to play outside than playing games. I always concern if my child lucks concentration on schoolwork.

How do you think computer games could be profitable for children?

I think computer games could be good for children if they can play the game without stressing or something.
