A discussion about design

During this Friday I’ve been trying to evolve the original fire but haven’t finished anything yet. Also we had a really interesting discussion within the group about the design of the game and from what perspective we wanted to design the game from. Where I explained that I viewed it from the perspective of trying to find out what the big picture is and work from there. I think this is a result of the concept we have, it is just that, a big picture.

We have a somewhat written story and from the start there wasn’t a specific mechanic established. Since I am a new member of the group I didn’t want to change to much of what was already there. Therefor I decided it was important to find out how to work with the parts that was already there and what limitations that already existed within the concept. Otherwise I do think working with one interesting mechanic and testing that and only that, is a good way to start.

But from our discussion emerged a more well established idea for everyone to follow as a team member drew a map over the game and that helped all of us to see what we should prioritize and test from the start.

Now I’m taking the weekend off, so see you on Monday!
