Writing Workshop at Gallery Connexion

Yesterday I participated in "Thrown Together: Writing Workshop at Gallery Connexion".  It was a great workshop that got my creative juices going.   It was interesting being in a room of writers I had never met before.  We were all very quiet.  I am looking forward to next month's workshop.

I've got the game basics in place.  Now I need to do lots of backgrounds.

I've done two so far then remembered that the rooms are round.

First thoughts

11:05 and the event just started

The theme is ESCAPE

I can use the idea I had for adaptation.

You are a genetically bread animal trapped in an undersea research facility.  You have three forms: Cat for speed and agility, racoon for vision and dexterity, and dog shark for swimming.  You have to escape the facility before it is too late.

I could use the self replicating robot one.  A robot wakes up and has to build another robot.  Not much escape there.

I could vary it to escapism and use my "Weekend at a Gaming/Anime Con"  But that would be stretching it.

I wish I could use the kitty concer the neighbourhood thing.  Sigh  I'll have to save that for another day.

SO

CRS Escape game
needed:
- map of complex
- basic plot
  - challenges
  - "random" events
- method in ren'py to time events
- art work
  - current mode
  - control panels
  - various rooms

I'm going to tackle the hard part of the event timer first, then dream about the story line.
