I have developed an endless runner game for smartphones and tablets based on the hit television show, Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad tells the story of Walter White, an ordinary chemistry teacher who finds out that he has cancer and Jesse Pinkman, a local street gangster who befriends Walter. Both Walter and Jesse decides to produce methamphetamine in order for Walter to pay for his medical bills and support his family. With the added advantage of Walter’s knowledge in chemistry, their product takes off and they both turn to a life of crime and encounter dangerous events that changes their lives forever. They come across various psychopaths. A mad drug lord named Tuco Salamanca, a no-nonsense authoritarian like meth distributor called Gustavo Fring and a white supremacist gang. As Walter White gets into various criminal activities, he puts his life and his family’s life in danger.
My concept for the game is a platform-based endless runner for smartphones and tablets, not to be confused for an endless runner in the third person perspective. The game will have the two main characters playable at the start, Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. As one progresses in game, they will be able to unlock other characters such as Walter’s brother in law Hank, Gustavo Fring, the iconic RV from the show, Heisenberg (Walt’s clandestine alias) and Saul Goodman, their lawyer who uses unorthodox ways to get Walt and Jesse out of legal trouble. The reason I decided to make only two playable
In the novel Always Running By Luis J. Rodriguez, the author illustrates specific events that caused Grillo, the main character to want to live a better life due to the fact of him abusing drugs, joining a gang and facing family rejection. This story is an Autobiography and transcends from Luis Rodriguez being a young boy to a trouble teenager.
The odds are stacked upon Luis Rodriguez, an upcoming sixteen year old that has found himself in the world of gangs. Luis is a human, and it is expected that he would make many mistakes in his life, however when given choices, he always seems to choose the wrong one and never learns from his mistakes. The theme of Luis Rodriguez’s autobiography, “Always Running,” is that many people feel like they are alone in the world, and that the world is always against them, but there will always be people that will stand in your corner and help them achieve what they were meant for. He proves this by including examples from his childhood and the mistakes he has made and the supports he has had.
The Netflix original series “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” starts with the opening song of a news report that was remixed into a song. This opening song is a familiar meme: a trailer-park resident that gets interviewed on local TV, has his words auto-tuned into a catchy jingle. This remix explains the rescue of four women who are saved from a concealed bunker where they’ve been held captive for fifteen years by the “weird old white dude” who was the leader of the doomsday cult. “Unbreakable!” the trailer park resident shouts waving his arms “They alive, dammit.
The book Always Running by Luis J. Rodriguez is about a boy or guy named Luis and his family. This book takes place in gang infested cities in Los Angeles. The action begins when Luis talks about him and his family. Then, after talking about his family the story goes to talk about how he joined a gang and did a lot of bad things as a teenager. Next, Luis about what he was doing and starts to think about what he is doing wrong and tries to change it. After that, Luis joins a boxing team to stop thinking and stop being involved with gangs. The story ends talking about how he want to be an example to his kids and doesn't want them to follow the wrong footsteps he did. The authors theme to this story I think is to keep going and not give up.
In Always Running, is the memoir of Luis Rodriguez battles an external conflict of having to be threatened by the police because he is involved in a gang. Luis ultimately resolves this conflict by making a huge change and leaving the gang and going back school and becoming an activist person; however, this choice also illustrates his true character as a motivation person. Luis’s decision to stay motivated also reveals the universal theme because it’s never too late to make a change in life and also fight for what is right.
One thing you wouldn’t know about me from my application is I go overboard. I tend to follow questions to their logical conclusion, then go beyond that to their absurd conclusion as illustrated by my devotion to Academic Bowl.

We are now living in a world where video games have become a major aspect of some people's lives. It has impacted many in a negative way and positive way.

Throughout the 24 weeks for our Team Project module we as a team voted on creating “A. Cornelius Nutz in Space”. This is to be an Endless Runner with its own USP (Unique Selling Point) that through the game you swap from running in 3 lanes to 9 lanes seamlessly. Our game will follow the key features that endless runners abide by that being you cannot stop running (unless you hit a wall and lose) and the score is determined by the distance you travel (Bomb, 2013). The narrative of the game being that the main character is a squirrel in space trying collect all of his lost nuts, it follows a cartoon theme and will be created using the Unity Engine and the game will also be deployed on iOS and Android.
