I ran some errands today after Krav and that included picking up some comic books and finding some Scooby Doo Hot Wheels. Hot Wheels made character cars of Scooby Doo and Shaggy. This was with a group of cars that included Fred Flinstone and Tom and Jerry. I’m not sure what else they are going to do but I did like these ones and so I picked them up.
I also got to the comic book store and picked up the DC Pride Month comic and read that during Eva’s Karate class so that I could give it to her to read when her class was done. She was excited to see that it had been released. It was a good read.
Last week I had the pleasure of checking out the Upcoming Nintendo Game, Game Builder Garage for Nintendo Switch which launches tomorrow. This is a rather incredible game that will teach kids how to create their own games and that is something that I cannot wait for my kids to learn. Both Andy and Eva love games like Minecraft and Super Mario Maker 2. They enjoy building and learning how to create things. Being able to create things right out of their own imagination is the best and with Game Builder Garage they can take their creativity for gaming to the next level.
The game has a series of training exercises that are about and hour or more each. Doing each training exercise will unlock features, abilities and knowledge that kids will need to make their own type of games. Every step of the way kids have help rom the Nodons. The Nodons are creatures that connect all the parts of the game together and they each have a distinct personality. As kids learn about each Nodon they gain more information on how to build better and better games.
The really nice thing about this game is that it breaks complex ideas down into much simpler steps and each lesson builds upon those before. Once kids are done playing through the lessons they will have considerable knowledge on how to create their own games and then they can do free building to create those games.
When they have built their own games then can then share those games with other people. The other people who receive the games can then edit those games and tinker with them on their own side. Learning and sharing and growing in knowledge is a fantastic way to pass the time.
Here is the game trailer and below is even more information for you prior to tomorrow’s launch!
