Week 2

Questions:

Will there be any need for background landscape, or will the entire level be constrained to the inside of the corresponding temple?
1. If so, is time static, i.e. will the game have a day-night cycle?
If character designs will be olive/khaki, we'll need to make sure that those colours don't feature in the environment.
What size will each section need to be (vertical and horizontal space)?

Solo Week 2 Elevator Pitch

James' Pitch slides

we continued hashing out gameplay for a bit
- mostly figured out the requirements for a minimum viable product
- we decided on cultural touchpoints for each section - Mitchell and I are working on the desert one, which has been agreed on as the ancient city of Troy.
I started finding reference images for our level, which I posted to the class Discord

From the video:

there are multiple basic types of quests, such as;
- kill - e.g. kill x number of enemies
- fetch - e.g. retrieve a thing
- FedEx - e.g. deliver a thing to another place
- collect - e.g. obtain x number of things (usually a variation of kill quests)
- escort - e.g. a variation of FedEx quests
quests should not only be a way of propelling the player through the game, they "should be something that the player wants to do" (Extra History, 2014, 00:02:01)
additionally, a good quest system will encourage the player's curiosity and invite them to interact with the world as more than just a game object.
