Creativity and New Media

In the virtual world, players can do things they can't do in real life. Players can be heroes in the virtual world, as superman. I put the concept of life into my virtual game. The reason I want to bring life into the virtual world is that I think sometimes it's hard to control our lives. For example, it's really hard to control my life for a variety of reasons. I can't do all the things I like, I don't have any confidence to do what I want to do. I was afraid to try something new, even work. I was afraid that new things would disrupt my life. It could make my life worse. These reasons may come from social pressure like hard to find a job you like. In real life, we have to learn about different areas of the world as we get older. But in the virtual world, you can start your life at different stages, and you can change the course of your life. You can use your imagination and live your life the way you want. But each part still feels the same as it does in the real world, which is an indication of what's going on at this stage. What I want to do most is release my pressure in the virtual world. Even if real life is hard to control, in the virtual world everything is up to me. As much as I can imagine, it shows up in the virtual world.
My virtual world has six parts, starting point, ending point, and four different life stages. The texture of each part is related to the things in that part. In the beginning, a crazy clock means that time in the virtual world is different from that in real life. It also means that life in the virtual world will be different. There are four paths around the starting point, and players can choose any stage they want to start. In the children's area, pictures of toys relate to children. Also, there are push objects, these objects are like blocks, players can play with them. Of course, players can also push these things to other parts to create their own worlds. In the workspace, there is a maze and a few characters. One of the characters would say, "congratulations, you've got a job.", other characters will let you go find a job. The gold and coin patterns in the work area to show that work can make money. In the relationships part, you just need to find a lover. A heart-shaped object with a pink picture to express love. Then the agedness part, a lot of the old cartoon patterns were used. The last part tells you that you are the author of your life story. In the beginning, there are many leaves on the tree to indicate new life, but in the end, there are no leaves on the tree to indicate the end. Each part has a different color. I put lights of different colors in different places. The child part is blue, the work part is gold, the love part is pink, the old part is red. Each part of the character will say different things and make you do different things. I want my players to understand that life is complicated, but also to make it clear. Do the right thing at the right time, but you can also control your life.

  1. Hi yizhe, I like your video. You are right as we grow older, we often need to learn different areas of the world. However, in the virtual world, we can choose our own stage and control our own life. Something we can't do in real life, we can do in the virtual world. Your video is very creative and surprised me.
