Making a video game on Asperger syndrome

Post Reply New Topic

Well for my next game, I'm going to base it on Asperger syndrome. I already live with it so why not make a game about it.

The Game will have the player trying to understand body language. It's hard to explain how it's going to work but it will. Anyway what do you think about this idea?

I'd like to see that expanded on even more. I've heard of simulations that show people what it may be like to live with ASD but these simulations are not readily available to the public to experience. To be able to show others what it is like in maybe some sort of artistic abstract way that may catch peoples attention would be greatly beneficial for us to help others understand what we go through. That is one of the saddest parts of living with ASD, someone can't just look at you and understand how you are feeling like they could with cancer or a broken leg, we are the only ones that can truely understand each other in that sense.

And that's why I'm doing it.


So the player when talking to people. They only get a few seconds until a outlined figure disappears. They can look at again, but then the anxiety, worry and stress levels go up. Depending on how the player plays the game determines the ending. Death, love or nothing.

The art style is going to be pixle art neon.

Nice job so far. I wasn't sure what else to do besides walk around. I guess the other gameplay elements haven't been added yet since it is still a prototype? The flickering street lights and opening and closing doors and people walking around all frantically made for a good depiction of anxiety.

Thanks. Yeah, there's only that so far. More coming!

You should title it "Ass burgers - Revenge of the Vegan Frycook"

In a city of aliens, you have to judge their body language, to see which alien will make a delicious ass burger or not, this demonstrates how Aspergers must learn body language from a textbook, because in the game they are aliens, and you have to memorize their body language from a textbook too. Near the turning point of the game, the cook becomes Enlightened, has a turning point, discovers Aliens Are People Too, and the plot twist is that you work for the rest of the game to undo the evil ass burger empire in which you have created, bringing peace and harmony unto the land.

That's kind of what's happening
