Serious Games Engines Updates
Our clients form a very creative user community, and they love our Just PlayIt!™ game, so they’ve provided wonderful ideas to expand and improve it.
Just PlayIt!™ is a Jeopardy-like, Single Player, 3D Serious Games Engine that offers you a software tool to create 20 Questions, Answers and Feedback. In addition, you can customize your Serious Games by creating a custom name for each game, creating goals and learning objectives and creating up to 20 questions, answers, and feedback.
Just PlayIt!™ is instructionally designed with a test bank of questions that are randomly generated for assessment purposes. Just PlayIt!™ sends a completion notification to any SCORM-conformant LMS for tracking, recordkeeping and reporting.
The end result will be deploying multiple Serious Games for numerous topics all under your control. The Enterprise Wide License provides you with unlimited software licenses to use within your organization.
Just PlayIt!™’s new features include:
- The game screen now works best at a 1024×768 resolution.
- It can load questions from a tab-delimited file.
- It can add links to the feedback … very helpful for players to understand the details of what’s correct and what’s not.
- Questions now accept two responses as well as the four-response format.
- Correct answers now display extra “happy” animations – great for reinforcement.
- The game now requires Adobe’s Flash Player 9, so you can enjoy its new built in features.
- Players now see the questions displayed on the same screen where the avatars buzz in – a more intuitive placement.
- AI (artificial intelligence) avatars now wait only a couple of seconds to buzz in after a player answers a question incorrectly, a more real-life delay.
- Two load-speed versions of the game — quick load (super-fast with streaming graphics) and regular load (also faster than before). The quick load version, true to its name, loads very fast because it’s 100% streaming video. If your players just can’t wait to begin and don’t mind seeing some slight flickers in the graphics and some of the sounds being a bit off-synch as they play, this is the version for you. If your players are a bit more patient at the beginning, the regular load version still preloads all of the graphics and sounds, but it now loads faster than it did before.
As always, we’re grateful to our users for their wonderful suggestions and requests. These enhancements will make the game even more exciting and engaging for your players, and we’re pleased to respond to the needs of our valued clients.
