Covid awareness with gaming
Hey everyone! lately, I have been thinking about this a lot. Just watching the news every day and it saddens me to see how people still do not take COVID seriously and so many people are still dying. There are many reasons why people may not understand COVID completely but I think one reason could be that they definitely do not understand how the disease spreads. So I was thinking if anyone wants to join me in making a game through which people can understand how COVID spreads. I have started to make a game through which people can learn how fast it spreads and it also highlights the different stages. Please message me if anyone wants to help me with this. Thanks.
Hi!
Cool idea! Is your game any different from Plague?
Who are your targeting? Kids? Teens? Adults?
yes, it will be very different from that. I want to focus on the educational aspect. I want to emphasize on how the pathogen spreads and what can people do to avoid getting it. I am targeting all age groups who can play games online.
Well that's a very nice idea and especially pertinent now and for the future.
I guess however that targeting all age groups might be a bit too broad.
The same game can not be played by kids, teens, adults, or seniors.
Reading your idea, it made me think about the new spread of Ebola in Africa. I am not an expert but I guess that a lot of people there may benefit from more information.
Maybe you can start by defining your entire market (e.g. people between 18 and 26, owning a smartphone, in countries where diseases are most frequent) then defining a focal market (e.g. country X).
Do you already have some images of the game so we can see how it looks like?
(PS: happy if you could roast my idea as well: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/how-about-a-startup-framework-web-app-ba07f8636d)
Thanks for the reply. Yeah am targeting countries that are most affected by infectious diseases, target age range is 15 to 35 years, android users, and mobile penetration at least 30% of the population. I am working on a 15-sec promo video to give an idea about the game. I would share it once it is complete.
Seems you got a pretty good idea of your personas! That's great! Would love to see your promo video once done.
