In one lecture, we were told our honours project is essentially problem solving. That is true, as I certainly have a lot of problems to solve. I will articulate and list them here to gain a better understanding myself.
The first and the most urgent thing to pop up to me is the questions around character and story.
I’ve created two characters so far — Maria, a Game Design student from Norway who’s pretty comforting and nice, but longs to have a story for herself and not just listen to everyone else’s problems, and Emilie who is a Computer Arts student from French and haven’t been able to let go of her ex lover, and still can’t now that she’s a ghost. Emilie is very stuck on her own emotions and smokes like a chimney. Maria has magic powers where she can directly show her thoughts/memories to a person if she wants to, and Emilie can do hexes. By the start of the game however they cannot use these powers, as they are spirits who have just awakened and thus are still a little weak. Maria is secretly in love with Emilie, but together with someone else.
