Project Treatment The idea I chose to do my 2d unity game on is the platformer game, the game would be a about an adventurer that has been searching for treasure for a long time and is following a map which leads them to through different levels to find the treasure they have been looking for.     The levels the adventurer goes through would have a background to match the location where he or she is e.g., if the adventure was running through the jungle there would be background like a pixelated jungle and the platform would also be the same theme as the level. And I would want to put some music and sound effects that match the game idea.     The characters would be pixelated and would wear something like Indiana jones type of clothing. There will also be obstacles that match the theme of the level and there will also be coins to collect.

 For this weeks reading task I learned the importance of making an  engaging introduction for my chapter and how important it is to have a have a conclusion that shows your opinions and thoughts. Essay Since the peak of gaming in the  1970s and 1980s, to this day  there has been many harmful effects of gaming on physical and mental health  found in the gaming world. What are these harmful effects? and how are games causing these effects? we can  discuss these questions in depth to understand more about the topic. Without a doubt  gaming has definitely had some  serious effects on peoples mental and physical health for a long time now. I think that it is a important topic to talk about to help educate people on how to game wisely to prevent them from these harmful effects and to also help people who are dealing with the harmful effects of gaming.

  To make my brainstorming easier for me I thought it would be best if I found 2d unity tutorials and think of an idea around the tutorial. So, I could have the functions of the game but change they idea and the design. I also took in mind that I should try and keep my ideas simple so I wouldn’t be trying to make a complicated game that I can’t make. Brainstorming  My first idea for a 2d game was to make a platformer game, I found some helpful tutorials on YouTube that show how to make the game. And I was thinking of maybe having a theme for the game, the game could have a horror theme or an adventure theme or maybe even a music theme.   My second idea I had was to make a game like Pac man it would have the same goal as pac man, but it would have different characters and aesthetics e.g., instead of Pac man I could have cookie monster eating cookies. And he would be running away from characters from sesame street.   My third idea was to make a game similar to Rubies 2d adventu

Personal life I never really knew how bad gaming addictions can be in someone’s life before reading this article. Without no knowledge I some people would think that people who have gaming addictions are just people who like to play games all day long and not to something else with their time. But after reading this article I know that backstory to peoples gaming addictions has a deeper meaning. While I was researching, I found an interesting article that gave a lot of statistical information in relation to gaming. One piece of information that really stuck out to me was ' In light of the latest conceptual and diagnostic advances in the field, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) included ‘Internet Gaming Disorder’ (IGD) in the fifth revision of the  Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders  (DSM-5)'.
