Group Game FaceTime Call

(The video has no audio)

In the call we talked about the premise of the game, including the general storyline, what could be used as potential variables, and how we are going to move forward with making the game. 

Our game is a detective style game where the player and five of their friends are hanging out, and go to a bar where everyone says a little bit more than they should, before going home. The next day, one person calls to make up only to discover one of the friends has died. 

The point of the game is to navigate through several areas and look for clues to discover who the killer is. Once the player has collected enough clues, they can go to the police station to solve the case. Some clues must be found in order to find other clues, and this will be incorporated into the story.

Jessica will focus mostly on the storyline and dialogue, while I will be primarily focused on the mechanics of the game and the formatting.

This is story for our game thus far:

Class is over early Friday afternoon. It’s a beautiful day in sunny South Carolina. Everyone decides to have a pool day before hitting the bars. The rest of the afternoon is filled with beer bong, beer pong, pool volleyball and [[a lot of drinking]].

The crew decides to head back to their apartments to get some food and get ready for a night out. All of the girls go back to Hannah’s. They blast their music and try on countless outfits until they find the perfect one. When they are ready to head out, they [[call the guys]].

The six of them go out to their favorite bar, _________, and start ripping shots. Emotions and feelings start flying through the air. Things are being said that cannot be taken back. We’ll see who remembers what they said in the [[morning]].

Kayleigh is the ring leader of the group. She always makes the plans and knows how to get shit done. She knows that last night had a rough ending, so she calls everyone to come over. She’s cooking breakfast and she insists that they wait for Lindsey. Lindsey didn’t answer the phone and hasn’t texted anyone back. The group decides that something is up and decides to [[go to her apartment to get her]].

When they get there, the apartment complex is taped off and cops and ambulance are everywhere. The group begins to panic. “What happened??” “Is Linds ok???” And then they see a body bag being wheeled on a stretcher. Hannah starts screaming and runs up to a cop [[begging to know who it is]].
