Hi, i''m an student in Argentina, we have a project to develop a educational game for children, but we are out of ideas. Any idea? Thanks.

"steal" the idea from another game. such Zeta Multimedia educational game.

For experience, to childrens like a colorfull with many sound, not a complicated game. Snoopy (a old game) is very funny, even me, spend game with this =).

The common :
-draw a room, with many tools.
-then when you push with the mouse in some tools, it made something such play a sound, bounce (for ballons), and more..

Thanks,

But i think a game for children from 7 to 11, we want to develop something like action game or rpg, any idea?

How we make that a child learn from an action game?

Another fact is that the game is going to distributed free en poor schools that mean no hardware acceleration an other things.

I wouldn''t recommend an RPG or action game for that age set. It would be pure schlock - at least all the ones I''ve seen are. I mean, I remember one where you were a "diabetic superhero" with the amazing power to hop up and down, and like between levels you had to pump the right amount of insulin into you or something.

No offense intended at all, but what kind of action or RPG game could it be? "Captain Clean-Lungs battles the evil forces of Tobacco-Industry-Man?

I think you''re on the right track. My favorite genres were action and RPG when I was in that age group. Davis has made a lot of action edutainment games.... like Math Blaster and Treasure Mountain.

Do you have a specific education topic that you need to make your game about?
