Blondbraid.I'm not sure if your asking about the game or saying what you like.I heard from a lot of places that edutainment is what most parents want but I've also heard the side of the story from kids.Most edutainment games are good and fun to a point.I've heard from many sources that kids will play these games but because many games use education as a blockage to the story the game drags.kids just don't have that kind of attention to enjoy it.Having a reasonable amount that doesn't hold up the game is a good idea.I didn't have edutainment in this game because I couldn't figure a way to fit it in.It is a good wholesome game that ranges from ages 5 to 14 maybe even any age.The game is packed full of about 500 background animation jokes that are age appropriate for anyone.There is not one moment of immorality and yet it's hilarious the whole way through.I made this game purely as proof that you can have immeasurable fun without immorality.I know there was no reason for me to say all that but I just had to say.And no it doesn't require much knowledge of english.and all speech is choosable as text or sound.
I'm not saying your wrong about edutainment.It all varies upon how it's used in a game.I am definitely considering it.
Regarding the edutainment aspect, you make a good point, no one likes, say, a math problem randomly thrown in for the sake of it,
though with the game I made with my friends, the edutainment aspect lies more with the story and spreading some basic awareness
around the tales surrounding a real historical figure and how he became king, rather than putting it in the gameplay itself.
It doesn't work for all education subjects, but I prefer making edutainment part of the storytelling rather than forcing it into a gameplay mechanic.
If anything else, you could always focus on any positive messages your game might have (Like if it promotes friendship, teamwork, or similar).
I normally use proper punctuation fluently. It' s this irritating autocomplete on my kindle.It changes what I type.It also switches phrases around in different places. I don't worry too much if it changes punctuation on ags forums.It is harder typing on a kindle and it's much worse than typing on a phone.
Thank you for opinion anyways.
I think it's not a too big deal here on the forums, but it's definitively worth taking seriously if you're going to market your game in a parent's group or similar.
As cat says, it's especially important if it's something marketed towards children, as many take poor writing as a sign of poor quality,
and there's, unfortunately, a pretty bad deluge of bad kids media tossed together for a quick buck that could easily drown out the stuff that's actually made with heart.
