This week the team has finalised the puzzles, floorplan, journals and scripts for audio/ video log. We are in the midst of creating it into physical objects. We received feedbacks from the informal presentation and the feedback that we should look into is if the trainees (audience) could not even pass the first stage of the game. The team has discussed certain options such as making them skip that puzzle however one puzzle may be taken out at the later stage of the game which could be a vital information to solving the game. The other option is to have a “helping chance” someone who is not related to the game since each member in our team will be doing a role play on that day. I guess that one of us may have to take a double role. We are still deciding on the possibilities to help the trainee if he/she fails at a certain stage.
The design for the floor plan is still in its prototype stage. I am trying to add more features such as a background grid and scale it so that it would easier for the trainees to give directions to one of the resistance member who is stuck in the lab which is the doctor. There will be two journals, the journal shown in class today was from the doctor. His journal entries are based on the year Isabella (Subject #23) was being experimented on and the year the Resistance team was formed. The other journal entry would be from Isabella where she writes current things and also from the flashbacks she gets. It will be more about the things she remembers from the capture to the raath experiment. I feel that it would be better for the audience to have two different point of view so that they have a rough idea to what may happen before the Resistance team was formed. The journals also include puzzles hints for the games. However, creating the journals are quite hard because I have to keep creating journal entries and making sure that every journal entry makes sense even though it can be viewed as a story itself. Also, making the journal look pretty worn out so that it will look more realistic. I am in the midst of creating the second journal.
We still have yet to try the whole game and hopefully everything will be completed by next week. We still need to make sure that every puzzles, clue and audio/video log worked well with the narrative.
I gave two floor plan options for the team to choose.
