Almost There, Raath Rebellion.

I had an informal presentation with my group in the class to share our progression of our project to the class. My group mates are in charged of designing the layout of the headquarter, puzzles for the characters, the plot of the narratives etc. After we did our presentation, Dan questioned us the effects of not able to solve the puzzles for the first two stages. As we had not thought about it, we discussed that instead of having two stages of puzzles that are necessary to be solved, we decided to disregard stage two puzzles. Hence, stage one puzzles will need to be solved (Farina will be helping the players by providing hints until the puzzles are solved), and the Raath’s video log message will interfere the Raath Rebellion headquarter in the midst of the players solving stage two puzzles.

Farina and I were thinking to have Isabella’s journal to be one of the hints or not, and we are in the middle of creating Doctor Kuronoma’s journal. Farina basically created the narrative for Dr. Kuronoma’s journal and I will be creating puzzles with the journal as the hints. I’m still in the middle of rephrasing the instructions for the first stage as the instructions are rather unclear and causes confusion. These are the feedbacks I got from a lot of people. As for the second puzzle, since it is not necessary to be solved, I just somehow created it with mathsticks and this puzzle will lead to the date of the placement of the bomb.
