Author Comments

In this short story you follow the life of Stephen Hawking and his battle with ALS a form of Motor Neurone Disease. In this game you take on the character of Stephen Hawking and learn about MND and ALS along the way.


This was a school project so if the game doesn't seem too fun its because its "educational"

great job!I wish the text box wasn't so small because it makes the pacing of the dialog all weird but Im assuming its a gbstudio limitation.Regardless,really nice attempt at making a educational biography.

I feel like it didn't use the premise of being a game to its fullest, but I do enjoy me some good edutainment and I did learn some stuff, so it served its purpose in a unique way that can inform more people.

Also, I didn't know Stephen Hawking was dead and I feel really dumb.

The game looks super neat, for science project. Hope your classmates had fun with it as well. For me I liked how the game looked more. What did you use to create the game?

FishLabs responds:

glad you enjoyed it.
I used GBstudio to make the game its a program used to create Gameboy JRPG type games

very nice

I love the serving of the idea. The game part is pretty enough for the story, I'd even say it's harmonized with it. The sound part is a bit rough, giving out peak bumps at times. The visual part is calm and somehow motivating. The text lacks punctuation, and some messages switch too quickly for me to read. In terms of gaming it might just be called a visual novel. I enjoyed it despite having the sceptic attitude to pretty everything that involves real intel.
