What is Wii's Wacky Life?:Wii’s Wacky Life is a
simulation for players (ages 4+) to gain exposure to
the responsibilities of their parents, older siblings, or young adults
habitually partake in. Through use of motion sensor controls, children are able
to cook, do laundry, mow the lawn, and even drive to work. By successfully
performing these tasks in their most primitive form, players unlock “Wacky”
versions of these mini-games, where the physics and resemblance to the
real-world lack emphasis and conceptual learning is achieved while having fun.
These fun styles of game play would include competition through speed, multi-player
challenges, and accuracy along with a co-operative style of play intended to be
performed with family and friends.Inspirations:At this point, you’re probably wondering why any child would ever want
to play a game that appears so chore-oriented. Believe it or not, children love
to mimic the actions of their parents as I will discuss in greater detail on
this website. This experience allows children to perform the same actions as
adults without the abilities, safety hazards, or proper growth required to do
so in a real-world setting. It is an educational game that previews adult life
and responsibility. The game will also have a multiplayer component so the
entire family can work together, engage in friendly competition, and make the
experience more than just a simple set of mini-games.
As a child, I rarely had to work around the house and when
I perform tasks such as doing laundry or cooking now in college, I look at them
only as a chore and I often dread the experience altogether. My intention is
for this game to create a sense of nostalgia later in life and bring enjoyment
to seemingly mundane tasks. I hope this game will be able to expand into a
series that frequently changes with new advances in technology and the way we
perform habitual tasks. | |
