Earthquake in Zipland

    Hehe... I don't know what to think, I haven't played it. Maybe it actually is good, thought through therapy or maybe it's a horrible way of making money on vulnerable kids.

    i think edutainment (i know thats not precisely what it is) could be really great. animals learn things trough playing and and pretty much JUST playing so why cant we in our future scifi society that we have now ? well mainly because edutainment games are usually quality and usability wise complete rubbish. and yet theres the occasional game like... "sim city" ... i have learned so much more about infrastructure and how society works from that game than from school ^^ but yet sim citys main focus was fun and it was a top notch high quality game that didn't have to hide form everyone else.

    now a comment more closely related to that video:

    i don't buy into the opinions of people who make a living off of peoples misery ( psychiatrists and news reporters tieing for the lead).

    that woman is not trying to make a difference or actually provide something for society by grabbing the evil by its roots ...

    other wise she would have designed a game for adults that prevents em from start hating each other as soon as they have a child ... or don't get a child to begin with !!!

    Well with prices like this:

    Earthquake in Zipland - for parents and kids

    Holiday Discount:

    $49.99 (instead of $59.99)

    Zipland PRO - for therapists and helping professions

    Holiday Discount:

    $139.99 (instead of $144.99)

    It probablly works.... :roll:

    Quote from Warby

    i didnt even see those prices as i say dont trust people who make money off of the misery of others !

    er so all doctors should not be trusted?

    I don't think anyone of us can seriously judge this educational title from watching that 3 minutes clip. Who knows - maybe it helps the kids ?!

    But do they wanne play this with those crappy graphics?

    And yes, maybe it helps, maybe not.

    But i thinbk it will be strange when docters are going to say : "Play this game, and you are cured"

    I was being totally serious - but the theme itself would be a tough one - how would you portray your theme Warby?

    I think maybe "Safety in the Workplace" would be an actually commercially viable idea and have some practical use. You could do an office building or a warehouse with LOOK OUT FOR THE FORKLIFT! style "problems".

    I dunno - just a (albeit bizarre) thought

    I love how the try to help people how is having a hard time with a theme that have caused 1000s of families to loose a member or the separated from each other.

    i am serious too ! i don't know how i would display my theme /how id turn it into a game something gta-ish would be the easy way out (just form the design not form the development standpoint ) where you play a nerdy but funny kid that constantly in school at home at the cash register encounters things that enrage him ... now you'd need some sort of RAGE meter that you need to keep low and when you don't keep it low but constantly fuck that little guys live over he will do a school shooting and anger releases could be doing sports playing games playing with its dog / other pets having a girl friend some sort of creative hobby (maybe even 3d art or level design

    a problem i see already as soon as the option to play games inside the game is given people will look at the game and not see that it is a top notch anger release valve but they will say... "HA SO IT IS THE GAMERS after all who would do a school shooting if they are just pissed enough !!!" even the edu game from the gamers says so !

    so i am very open to more suggestions for a theme
