My Reflection

Growing up I played a lot video games with my brother and cousins. Video games and the virtual world are topics that interest me. 

 

So I had a thought: Wouldn’t online games work well with online dating? Gamers make online friends with the help of the in-game contents and activities and with online dating being so awkward, wouldn’t it make sense to have something merging elements from MMO games and online dating?

That is how my project Facebook Dating MMO was born. Facebook Dating MMO combines its already existing Facebook Dating and adding elements from games like Stardew Valley, Pokemon, and Animal Crossing to it.  I am really proud of this work because I took something I love and created a new experience for online dating.
