i have considered game developing as a career choice (because my brother is always bugging me about it) but mainly i like watching people make games, especially dani bc he makes it BIG FUNNI, and while reading what you sent about games you like being made for you, i thought of this thing i remember hearing of that i think is in las vegas, it's this VR thing called THE VOID where you tell the people that are messing with it what games you like, or what movies, and when you put on the headset you will be in your favorite movie or game (i really wanna be inside undertale because i think it's really cool and pretty wholesome sometimes)

undertake was one of my favorite playthroughs of a game ever. though I did end up fighting a lot in the playthrough I did of the game. But after a while I felt guilty about it I never fully finished the game made it up to the final boss and at the time I just was out of time to play through anymore. 

but I would believe at some point in the future we would have some form of AI that would create games for us just like even though it is sort of bad right now you have placed on the internet where the computer will write a story for you and there are other programs where you can get your computer to write music for you.  As we perfect AI we could be looking someday at a  world where you want to hear the music you like the computer will just compose it for you on the fly or you want to play a good game the computer will make it for you or need a history paper written for class the computer will write it for you.

But also when it comes to games one of the next evolution of gaming I would like to see is how we can use games in an entertaining and exciting way to teach. I mean if history class was as fun and entertaining as my play-throughs of assassins creed games I would have love to know more about history, In fact, assassins creed did get me to read and research some about the time periods that the games took place in. 

I also believe that you can use video games to share experiences like a well written and made game showing you what life might be like as a black man in America right now and give a bit of an idea of what he must be going through and get to experience from a game what racism he might face on a regular.

But just imagine whit the level of tech we have now and where will be in the future how games can probably get across more in several hour play sessions than a week of lectures on the same topic could. Because games have ways of putting you into a period or situation that is more real and more immersive when done correctly than talks or stories of others' experience ever could.

technically there already is a way you can use games to teach and teachers in some schools are actually using it, it's called MINECRAFT: LEARNING EDITION and some people actually like it

but it should be done more because you probably could teach a child more in play sessions with games than you could in a week worth of classes. Just imagine how a resource management game can teach you what the struggles are like in third world countries or take a well-written but more historically accurate game like assassins creed and how it would change the way kids are learning and how fast they are learning. I not talking about dumb edutainment but actual good games that be entertaining as well. That it would feel like a game and teach as well. The trick is to learn how to successfully making it both fun and entertaining as well as educational.  Imagine if you could put someone into the place you're trying to teach about through like VR or AR. Just imagine how much that could change if you could turn the classroom into colonial us or you could meet Benjamin Franklin in VR. Just imagine how much more if done correctly entertaining this would be than boring lectures.
