Game Reflection

Black Lives Matter Memory Game
Done On Adobe Flash

For this project I used the program, Flash Professional, for the first time and used Photoshop. Not much new technical things were used, I only really cropped photos and imported them.
The idea I had with my game is that you are playing the cop and cops are 'good' people, but in this game the victims are real life people who have died from police force. My idea didn't really change, since this is a huge social injustice that is happening right now and it is something I feel very strong about.
The artist that actually drew the picture that I used had a huge influence on my project because the pictures they drew of these individuals made them seem like a loving family, a big group of people (the original photo has 11 people in it), two small children, young lives and people who's death should never have happened, that was my biggest influence, the fact that people are being discriminated and at times the media is giving you the wrong side of the story.
The main motivation behind this work is that I want people to know that these people who are in my game have helped start a nation wide outcry, that right now there are protests for these souls, that these people had no justice given to them and I want people to realize just how easily they are making the situation worst, because saying it doesn't matter isn't going to make any change, in fact people who say that are stopping change from happening because they are blind to other people rights and needs.
