Daniel Shalala | PPJ Week 2: Storytime

WEEKLY NARRATIVE

This week we were able to solve one of the largest problems that plagued our game, the story. I was tasked with deciding what the accident that put our games main character, Rem, in the hospital in the first place. I am glad to say that everyone accepted what I had come up with without problem. So when we think about it we have a story, while its not fully flushed out, we have the major beats taken care of. The other things that I spent my time occupied with this week was the design meetings. While the process took longer than I wanted or hoped, we have a solid idea for how this is going to move forward, which is wonderful news. Moving forward however, we need to find a way to quicken the process, because people become bogged down in the tar pits of critique and debate.
