For my project I endeavored to create a gaming portal which gives the consumer a rewarding game experience. Games2win (G2W) was looking forward to creating a game development platform that was both highly scalable and flexible.

I developed online computer games which will hopefully have the same mind-blowing addictive multidimensional effect on players as traditional arcade games, casual games and educational games. The idea was to take G2W away from the conventional genre of Action games and Naughty games and to get players on site to a wider range of possibilities and innovations.

My project explores the multidimensional nature of gaming where one single player plays the role of providing multiple player gratification. Here, in a single game, the player learns how to imagine and create and then actualize the dream of a beautiful world.

Many hidden layers of learning and self awareness get imbibed in the children very subconsciously.

I developed eight games: My Smart Project kit; Fitness Frenzy; The Beauty Shop; Candy Factory; Fashion Freak;. My House; Make My rainbow and Super Mom.

My project concluded with research on the hidden aspirations of kids and teens which can aid in the creation of meaningful play themes and an overall memorable play experience.

Learning how to manage a single game that traveled various game designing departments was a unique learning experience. The project helped me in developing an attitude in the virtual world which will make a big difference in the real world.
