Synopsis

Synopsis

An exciting game for the Jimmy the urban safety boy, in this he’s epic adventures of teaching development of others different skills. He’s teachings involve Spanish, math, music skills, physical coordination and problem solving. The game is evolving around the many different aspect of the TV series. The short game clips will show these different aspects of the game and how they represent the show and continue on the learning.


Keywords- education

Idea

Jimmy the urban safety boy Look at different way of teaching children; this is by using TV shows. Children can learn from the characters action to do the right thing and learn from it, while also being fun. They also learn other skill like learn like being about to tell what an object is and a different language. This would be an idea for a game to take this show to the next level of by giving them a challenge while at home and to continue the learn when the show is not on the TV this way it would benefit their learning and further increase their knowledge. The characters in the show are to help different part of learning and so what is right and wrong these being valuable lessons that young people are asked to learn.

There are two different things that I would like to add to normal learning using Jimmy these are which I think that people should be learning at a young age which have been causing people a lot of problem in the future. These are hygiene and safety when crossing the roads. I would choose the further develop safety when crossing the roads. This is because too many children are having accidents on the roads and children’s characters inference can help inform children to be safe.

The Jimmy’s game will be able to increase the knowledge given to kids outside of the class room and that of the TV. It would take use of the modern technology and a growing source of information which is the Pc, but it will so be on other forms of entertainment these begin the game consoles. The console that I have in mind for this was the Nintendo Wii. This games console is what the Jimmy the urban safety boy needs to take off in the gaming market, with this console the children and aim, point and click on different objects. Maths can be done with objects that they like for example using cookies. One cookie plus one plus cookie equals two cookies. This unique idea of thinking to children’s learning will be hugely beneficial allowing them to learn faster because it would become something that they would like to do.



















This is the candy land game for Dora the explorer, this game use simple way for children to get involved in the game basic clicking identifying colour and learn Spanish. I want to expand on this idea by letting a player go into the world of Dora and explorer while being able to do missions with various learning type.


Context

The Jimmy the urban safety boy would not be clearly identified by just one genre because of the many different aspects that it covers, but it can fit into a few of the main genre. This is also good for when making a game because child gamers today prefer because it keeps their attention Jimmy the urban safety boy genres will be puzzle and children education.

The target audience is 6 to 8 this is because jimmy will try to teach children a different language which is easier at a younger age and so because it is teaching basic maths and basic problem solving plus teaching children to recognize objects and where they are placed which is not something that an adult would need to know because they would already have a greater knowledge of these subjects. (maybe not in Spanish)







































































Treatment

The visual language in Jimmy the urban safety boy will be simple and the same for most other character created to the children audience. There is a bold black line around the characters, background and other objects this is similar to how children draw linking with them on a mental level.

The shapes are round off the make them look soft nothing is pointy, this makes the character easier to look at and then look nice and soft because people generally don’t like sharp edges and children are no different to this fact.

The colours in Jimmy the urban safety boy will have bright colours that are warm and welcoming many of the colour are those that children like at this age so, I will use these colour to better relate to my target audience.

Jimmy the urban safety boy motion shall be mainly left to right this falls into my idea of car and crossing the road because car to tend to go from left to right and with my added addiction to Dora’s quests learning about then road this idea will be showing the idea of look left to right before hand.







Planning

Technical skills that I would need to improve camera work and lighting rigging to create of Jimmy and the other characters.

Pedestrian Refuge

The most basic form of helping people to cross the road is a pedestrian refuge, which is usually in the form of an island in the centre of the road.
