Solution 1: Character Customization
"I want to change my character's shape and color the way I want"
To give them a stronger sense of identity, I designed a feature that let players create their own character.
I added more personalization through apparel shops and their interactions with different characters.

Solution 2: Open World Experience
"More places to go in the game with different designs will be nice, like another world to explore"
To make players feel more free in the game, I redesigned the game as an open world.
This would allow the kids to roam, explore, and find conflicts to resolve on their own, also finding many interactions along the way.

Solution 3: More interactions and relatable plots
"You can add side missions to the main quest"
I added quests, rewards, secrets and several in game interactions with characters and objects around the school to make the game more immersive.
Based on our research, and with the help of the client, I also updated the original plots to be more relatable and inclusive to modern kids.
