The hidden message, is that social media and mobile phones, are taking over people’s lives and causing a reliance on programs, such as Snapchat and Twitter. This is not healthy for people’s mental states and is causing education to be effected. This is why I have chosen to have this message in my game and hopefully we can reduce the amount of Social Media usage, causing better education and mental states.

Below, there is a selection of assets that I created and inputted into the final version of the game.
Social Space is a pixel Platformer aimed towards 16-19 year olds. It takes place in a college, where all is not what it seems and the college has been taken over by the alien race who created Social Media. They are known as ‘the Social Mediums’ and they have been using social media, to extract people’s fun and imagination, therefore turning them into mindless zombies, who can’t stop using their phones, causing them to finally bond with them. The college is doomed and pretty soon, the world will be in danger. Who will stop the aliens and put an end to their plan? That just happens to be you, ‘The player’. It seems that you were born with something in your blood that blocks the effect of the aliens control ray. Your mission is fairly simple. You just have to navigate through the now destroyed college, with walls missing and aliens around every turn. You then have to save the people from the aliens and put a stop to their evil scheme. Are you up for the challenge?
