The concept behind my video game is to create an interactive novel. It's kind of like a choose your own adventure book, but with more educational aspects integrated into the story. The educational aspect of my game is in the realistic use of medical terminology, equipment, diseases and their treatments. The general storyline for my game is a hospital setting, where the player is a new doctor in the hospital. The first few days they will learn where all the important medical devices are and where important medications are. After the tutorial, the player would begin working with patients, treating illnesses and advising other doctors if they need second advice. Over time, patients will either return with new symptoms or new patients will come in with their own symptoms. Also for example, if the player were to treat someone with pneumonia, the player would keep them under bedrest in the hospital for a few days, so the player can monitor their recovery.

Here is some (very very pre-final) artwork that I created. I used a programme called Paintbrush for Mac, it's a free downloadable Mac version of Paint for PCs. I drew a simple picture of a doctor (wearing the lab coat), and the exterior view of a hospital, complete with a highway and cars. These drawings showcase the kind of artwork I am aiming for in my video game, from the retro point-and-click style of gaming.

Here is a digitised version of the scan that I uploaded, with added variables that allow the player to learn more information about the patient. This will allow for a more informed diagnosis and treatment.
