Professor Rueda asked the class to conceptualize games that would make the players’ reactions be one of the following:

“Games are truly art!”

“The best art game ever!”

or

“Wow the art is awesome!”

I wanted my players’ reactions to be “Games are truly art.”  To summarize, “just Another Day” is a game about an average day not being so average.  It helps the player realize the importance of everyday decisions and how even what appears to be an insignificant choice, may lead to a life changing affect.  With the use of color and plot changes, “Just Another Day” visually demonstrates how a simple decision can change one’s life drastically.
