Our game designers invest a lot of creative bandwidth in player motivation, as it is the crux of game design. ๐ฎ Players need to feel a strong motivation and emotional attachment to a game in order to feel compelled to play it over any extended period of time. โณ The form that motivation takes is different for every game, but for K12 Games: MathBee, designers wanted to give players a sense of agency in defining their character as well as the ability to express themselves. The new costume shop ๐๏ธ will help players do that. Some of the skins available for purchase include a retro outfit, a skeleton skin, a gumball machine skin, andโappropriately for the seasonโa snowman skin โ, among many more. There are even some secrets to be found as well.
Be on the lookout for an update soon! ๐
