1) What Did You Witness?<\/p>\n

For this idea I was inspired by Paolo’s\u00a0demonstration\u00a0in class of creating characters from manipulated simple shapes. \u00a0But in this case, the player will be “designing” the character. \u00a0The game starts off with a pixelated background of a dark alley, a building, and a vague silhouetted\u00a0figure. \u00a0Then Policeman Bob will show up to inform you that you have just witnessed a crime and need to describe the perp. \u00a0Policeman Bob will ask questions relating to the perp’s physical appearance, specifically: lower body type (boxy, round, v-shaped), lower body size (long, squat, proportional), upper body type (boxy, round, v-shaped), upper body size (long, squat, proportional), head shape (oval, rectangular, heart-shaped), head size (long, squat, proportional), gender, skin color, hair color, hair type (curly, straight, wavy), hair length (long, short, shoulder-length), clothing color, and shoe color. \u00a0At the end, the player will brought to the police station to identify the perp they described. \u00a0The player “wins” if he found identified the correct criminal.<\/p>\n

2) Enchanted Wilderness<\/p>\n

In this game, the player would be hiking and stumble under an “enchanted” forest with legendary animals. \u00a0He then gets to choose which animal he wants to follow and learn about , make friends with, or capture. \u00a0The three animals he can follow are a dragon, a unicorn, or a phoenix. \u00a0I want each of the three characters to have unexpected qualities: for instance, if the player decides to follow the unicorn, he always views it from the profile, and at the end he sees it head-on and it actually has two horns and is an evil, devil-type character.<\/p>\n
