IOHS Games Project

OBJECTIVE The IOHSGP's objective is to develop Educational and Islamic games for children. The games will be created based off the Eemaan Reading Series by Dr. Bilal Philips. The Eemaan Reading Series has 9 different grade levels, and as such each game must be tailored for each level. The purpose of the games is to make learning English fun. DELIVERY SYSTEM The Islamic Online Home School, inshallah, will be a web based school where children can sign in and learn different subjects for their grade. As a result the IOHSGP will also be available online, with possibly downloadable options, physical shipping options, and possibly an app in the future. CHARACTERS The characters in the games will be based off pre-existing characters from the Eemaan series. If the characters are deemed unsuitable, then new ones will be created for the purpose of the games. The characters should be likable, fun, and colorful. The children playing the game will be of all nationalities, and so should the characters they play. GAMEPLAY There will be a number of games for the child to play at each grade level. It is possible to have a different game per book in each grade level, but initially there will only be two or three. The games will be playable at any point, but it's best to play them after their corresponding book. The gameplay will each be an unique experience for the child. They are not meant to be generic or stale, but must truly be the best and well thought out games we can develop. They should have colorful backgrounds, smooth animation, and exciting audio. The complexity of the games may be simple depending on the grade level, but the presentation should still be top notch. STAFF Currently the IOHSGP is looking for Flash Developers knowledgable of Action Script and HTML5 to program the games. The games mainly consist of point and click, with no side scrolling or physics engine. In the future we are hoping to have those games as well, but currently it's just point and click.
