Backstory:

Fiery lives in a city which is named Piatou, and it is governed by different factions. The story begins with these factions competing for land and resources after a war has ended. The whole city is divided into different areas with clear frontiers. These areas include: The Government, V.I.P’s and the wealthy are in the first area, followed by the ordinary citizens occupying the second area, and the poor and the refuges from the war are in the last area.

 

Fiery is living in an orphanage in the last area and is very lonely and just wants to be loved and have a family. He is quite mischievous and loves to be the centre of attention .Although his serious side he is extremely talented and is able to build homemade explosives by himself.

 

One day a scientist visited the orphanage and was very interested in Fiery’s talents and invited him to his home laboratory. After that day, Fiery made regular trips to the laboratory where he was taught science over several years. The scientist became a foster father figure but there was no fatherly love just science.

 

The story concludes in Piatou in a new era, Fiery now an adult, has become the new leader of the city government.

Sports

How inclusive are they for differently able-bodied players, do they make assumptions about the player’s body-type or exclude those with certain disabilities?

For many years, the game industry has been advocating play for people with different physical conditions and disabilities to enjoy video games on an equal footing. EA's old football game series FIFA13 made a very good example for this role. A mouse that controlled the whole game made it possible for many people with disabilities and suffering from movement disorders to enjoy the game, and for EA this football game meant that so many disabled people could play the game with just one hand.

Not only that, a high degree of custom key settings, colour settings and high-contrast menu screen gave "FIFA 13" different degrees of bonus and reward, but the real decisive feature is the ability to adjust the AI opponent's reaction speed and overall Game speed.

 

How does the meaning of your games change when they are played competitively or by a speed-runner?

 

Speed Runners are easy-to-find casual games, but its tagged multiplayer racing and athleticism suggest that it`s still a competitive game.

In this game four players or AI are in a map race, once a player is knocked out or left behind the other players continue, but the screen border will become smaller and smaller, which will makes the race faster and faster. Up to a point when there are only 3 or less players left to continue the game. As each map is an infinite loop path, each player has to knock out or lose the other players to be the final winner of this race. Backward heroes will use everything at their disposal in order to run faster or impede others progress. The player with the greatest attitude will dominate the game. The Athletic mode will allow players to the purpose the game in other words to understand it and to allow more practice, and in Game mode you can expand this point. When winning there will be a greater sense of accomplishment, fast-paced game requires players to maintain a high degree of concentration and speed.
