Poerava The main character. I chose this name because it's a name for both genders, i was thinking of giving my players the option of choosing their own gender - but still have the same name- ,  sadly the thought was crushed by second thoughts. My characters' a female now, which could be a good thing for my target audiences whom are females. Poerava won't have any special powers or anything, I want her to be just an ordinary brown-skinned person. -a maori without an identity . the game is about finding your identity and heritages therefore the only type of ability she will have is to be able to wield the weapons she receives. Mistress The first character Poerava meets. She is the wise lady whom tells Poerava how to get back home. The mistress in the legend 'lady and the bird' was claimed to be missing when in reality she went into hiding cause she thought her husband didn't love her anymore. In my game she lost her way because she has a bad sense of direc...

Task 9 Do you agree with what she says?    '' I believe that many of us become the best version of ourselves --   the most likely to help at a moment's notice,   the most likely to stick with a problem as long at it takes,   to get up after failure and try again.   And in real life, when we face failure,   when we confront obstacles, we often don't feel that way.   We feel overcome, we feel overwhelmed,   we feel anxious, maybe depressed, frustrated or cynical.   We never have those feelings when we're playing games,   they just don't exist in games.''-Jane Mcgonigal - I agree with what Jane had said about games bringing out the best version of us. This is because when playing a game, there are many roles you can choose to become (i.e a doctor, a teacher, a scientist, a basketball player etc) and we can express ourselves a lot better in games. We are quick in solving problems. . In the gaming world, players are not afraid to w...
