Kids Computer Game Normalizing Disability
Research supervised by Dr. Rua Williams
My role: concept, illustration, completing development of the game (in progress)
This project explores critical interaction design. Most games targeted at disabled children have a therapeutic purpose and are so-called “serious” games. Bloppy Care challenges the idea that all games for disabled children should try to fix their disability. Instead, Bloppy Care focuses on representing disability in a fun, lighthearted game for children of all abilities. The game involves simple clicking interactions and is targeted at children ages 4-8. I did the design and illustrations for the game, and I am currently finishing the development so that I can begin testing and prepare a publication.
The blue Bloppy is hungry and needs to be fed.
Some characters are fed via feeding tubes and others eat by mouth.
