Week 6: Beginning of Phase 3

Introduction to Phase 3

Now as we all have done our deep dive research into our loved themes, we all get to choose who we wanna team up with. Out of all the people who presented, the one that caught my interest the most was Alex's theme of Forests, Abbie's theme of Fables and Rylan's theme of Taoism.

Me and Abbie have been talking about our themes in person for a while and I really liked the idea of having a rich but simple narrative. She was also interested in the aspect of togetherness, community and conservation that were brought in through my research so we decided to team up.

Kerris joined our group later after having a discussion about our themes and we seemed very enthusiastic about making something simple but packed with a good story, environmental elements and interactive elements. Kerris brought in her theme of fantasy to our ideas and it blends with our themes perfectly.

Phase 3 would be all about testing different game ideas that have been driven by our research and come up with some prototypes (digital/physical) for the game ideas. We spent this week having group discussions about various game ideas and different narrative structure that could work together. All of us agreed on designing a game that tells a moral in a setting inspired by my research on Seamounts.
