Style, Safe, Savings
Date: 2022
This assignment for my class was to create an app prototype for the mobile platform based on the following list of existing issues provided or your own proposal. For me, non of the existing issues spoke to me so I decided to pitch my own.
Background
An educational app that teaches money values through simple gameplay.
Goal
SSS (Style Safe Savings), aims to become a mobile game where children and teenagers can manage their money, save, and gain virtual currency. The experience entails the creation of avatars and the customization of such avatars via a saving system. Participating in daily mini-games, learning about money values, and interacting in a virtual setting.
Overall Key Issues
-
Children and teenagers are impacted by the internet, spending hours staring at a flat screen, and being drawn to any kind of entertainment (especially video games).
-
Games demand real money to get extra perks (like customizing skins, more gold, and other things).
Problems Caused
-
Addiction to the thrill of pulling/drawing/rolling.
-
Giving in to impulsive desires
-
Spending large sums of money
-
FOMO (fear of missing out)
What problem it solves?
-
The app will aid in educating children and teenagers about the world of virtual currency.
-
As children and teenagers become older, these values will stick with them, and they will be able to utilise those values in any game with a gacha system.
-
Help those players who have been addicted to gacha games, to break out of the cycle of addictive spending and gameplay.

I chose a simple and bright theme to make the app look wholesome and appeal to my primary audience of young children younger then 16 .
