PROPOSED APPROACH Research available software and make an informed opinion based on the requirements of the concept. Create plot, storyboards, enlist actors, animate and code game using current programming techniques.

AREAS OF WHICH I AM UNSURE Can a story be told effectively through a game? Will the user’s decisions change the outcome of the game? How will the conditional behaviour effect the game outcome? POV – first person or third person perspective? Graphics: 2D or 3D? Can the game be played across platforms? If a mobile game, will the user stick with a game to follow the plot? What game development tools will be using?

Any questions?
