Interactive Narrative

Im now halfway through my interective narrative project but I havnt been very good at updating this blog so I will start from the begginning.

My initial idea was to have some sort of confrontation. Starting off asleep then there is a banging at the window, you can then chose to look outside or stay asleep. then if you look outside you can ask the people to be quiet politely or aggressively or go back to sleep. then you can go outside or go to sleep, then argue or reason with them. Then if you argue you get hit. Everytime you chose to go to sleep, the narrative goes back to the first slide and there is a banging on the window again.

Initially I liked this idea but I thought I should come up with some other ideas as I felt this could be a bit boring.

I brainstormed a few ideas. I came up with:

-A journey. chosing the route.
-A map. chose the different destinations
-chose what to do around my room. ie go on pc, wash, tidy up, go eat etc

In the end I felt that the map idea was best as it could be expanded and would be reasonably simple to make. The idea was to have a map of the UK then have the different regions; north, midlands, south east, scotland, NI etc. The user can click on each region and picture and info will appear on the new page. The aim is to have it more educational than silly or fun. Like something the government or environmental agency would produce.

I am still in the process of making it but it should be finished by Friday.
