Interactive Storytelling Summer 2022

The Lost


I’ve spent a lot of time today thinking about what I want to do with my NPC characters “The Lost”. At first it made sense that they might resemble a mix of esoteric shapes and figures because of the whole “mindscape” aspect of The Blanc. I thought they might be cute but I wasn’t sure. Instead I think I’ve decided to go with more humanoid characters.

Another aspect I was thinking about was how to scale down my ideas so that they might fit within the scope of the project: Using ‘humanoid’ characters, using as few original assets as possible, etc.
There’s also the scope of how I want to create areas or ‘levels’ that work within the narrative of my story. These may be problems for later, as I continue to nail down concepts as much as possible.

    Scope creep is so hard to contain! I already will probably end up working on my project even after the semester is over just as a hobby. It’s so hard to reign in all the creativity once the juices start flowing. It’s a snowball effect for sure, because I also strongly believe that constraints can lead to some really interesting creativity, so having a tight deadline can squeeze a lot of creative juice out of a person like putting an orange in a hydraulic press. Good luck fighting the scope creep!
