Teachers are awesome – and let’s be honest, they don’t always get a lot of gratitude. There are days when, after a full day in the classroom, they feel like Miesha Tate’s arm after a fight with Ronda Rousey, and yet, they get up the next day and go out […]

Whether it comes to learning math, reading, programming or sports, we don’t believe just in quality time. We like great big, heaps of quantity time. Our games are like comic books. They are fun to play, they aren’t big budget, they have a story and characters, and they come out […]
Why We’re Selling Our Games Like a Comic Book
I completely disagree that anyone can build an educational game, or even any game programmer or educator. You need to understand the area of education you are trying to teach, in our case, math. You also need to understand what makes kids play a game, what kids need to learn, […]

7 Generation Games Travels to ND
We’re also going to give a pair of completely unpaid endorsements here. Our Belcourt meeting was held at K & J Espresso Cafe, which was great. If you’re ever near Belcourt and looking for good coffee, this is the place to go. Now, you might be thinking to yourself, “Well, […]
An Off-the-Beaten-Path Visitors Guide to ND
AnnMaria here. The last week I have been working on a “Level 0”. This is because some teachers have told us their students have difficulty playing the game initially because they aren’t sure which keys to use to do what. The space bar jumps, the ctrl (control) key shoots […]

‘Skulduggery’ Author Hosts Spirit Lake Contest
It has been a year and three days since we formed 7 Generation Games as a partnership. We should be incorporated in the state of California very shortly. All of our spare time – as well as the time we haven’t been able to spare – has been devoted to […]
Happy Birthday to Us
