                       The australian sheppard is adorable! I had one a couple years ago named shep!

And now I have the same dogs shown here! Australia has a good few herding dogs!

The leadership program.

I'm finally thinking about exactly what to do with my game. I'm going to send an american teen to Australia to learn about being a leader and everything that Australia is like. I want to drop in things about the culture, history, and the government. I think this will teach the players alot about Ausralia, since there's so much. And to put citizenship into this, I want my character to learn about the citizens, along with the player. I think it will be a good game to come up with to show a variety of the country and teach the player stuff they might want to know. I dropped in a bunch of links under my projects in my wiki page of things I want to explore and put into the game.

What I'm thinking about

Free Trade Agreement
Business Travel to Australia
These are two links that I found that may help me in deciding on what I really want to do with my game. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to come up with a game that would deal with the U.S. and Australia. It's been kind of hard for me to think about it. There's so many things that I love about the country but I'm trying to stay on the civics and news topic. I wanted to put some history in the path of my game, but then the real only thing that these two countries interact with in is trade and business stuff. So I'm still thinking about this, and maybe I'll think of something to do to make this a really good game.

My country, Australia.

So today I did a good bit of research on Australia and I'm stillthinking about what I'm really going to base my game on. I have chose much in perticular, but it'll come to me soon. I might be going a little bit out of topic of Citizenship, but not much. I want to encorporate leadership, history, and citizenship into my game, so the players and get an insight of how Australia is and how our country and Australia are related and different.

Got me an Idea!

So since were in the civics and new knowledge area, I was wanting to do something on citizenship in Australia. I'm interested in the culture, history, and the civics of Australia so I wanted to do some research on the country and use that as my game idea. I'd like to make it kind of an adventure game. I want it to be something fun that will teach players about Australia and how the country is related to and diferent from the U.S. I'm interested in what I can find and how I can turn it into a fun game and teach players about this wide sunject.

Letting my mind wander....

I am thinking about what I'm going to reflect my game on. I was wanting to encorporate history in my game and make it really fun and interesting. I'm not too interested in politics so I will probably be steering away from civics in that way, but I am looking at creating a game that helps the player learn about a different country, like maybe Australia or Egypy, since I'm interested in their culture. I was looking at the stategy games because I might use that as the genre of my game. Nothing is set in stone at all, but these are the ideas I'm thinking about.
I did play a good few games. I really liked this "Pirates of the Preamble" game, because it was a quiz game that tought me some stuff about my country's government history, and it was interesting with all the details of the game.

Brand New!!

So I guess I'm gonna get to learn about flash and how to use it and then i get to take that and turn it into a game that has to do with a common topic like civics or the enviroment. I think this'll be fun for me to play all sorts of games and learn what other people take from the world.
