DESCRIPTION	My game is based on the school of UCI and is about the differences between the schools. I'm mainly focusing on the Biological Sciences, Engineering, and the Arts. I wanted to emphasize the unequal distribution of attention and funding between the the Arts and the other two schools. Your main mission in the game will be to get a major and complete it to graduate from Student to one of the three catagories (Artist, Doctor, or Engineer). I chose to use well known characters from the gaming world to represent the different schools that I have put them in. MORE... When your character begins he starts off at the Student Center just like any first time person to UCI. Then you have a choice of heading around the campus which leads you to the Biology and Engineering department. These two areas are easier to walk to and lead in a circle like the real Bio and Engineering buildings on campus. The Arts area, on the other hand, is across a bridge and a far walk across a dessert. As for the quests Bio and Engineering will have more quests but they will be repetitive and mundane. They generally ask you to kill the same monsters over and over. The Arts quests will vary more and be more interesting but there will be less of them to represent the lack of classes UCI has for that school. They give you different skills and lead you to a diploma which grants great power but their journeys are very different. << BACK
