v2 Trial and Error
Experience type: a choose your own adventure phone app or web browser experience
​
Current Plan: I would like to recruit a small team of programmers, separate from the actual programmer(s), because I think that a programmers mindset is necessary to writing the small details of this story, which can have many alternate paths. As such, I haven't gone into much detail into thinking about the specifics of this story, rather, I've been thinking about the small handful of programmer friends that I want to help me flesh out the finer details of the story, possible branching paths and how they can relate to each other etc., and THEN
begin the process of narration and drawing/animation. I think all this should be done before even approaching
anyone to put this into code.
Plot Basics: a planet with two tribes at war, both asserting that their god is the one true god, go to battle
yet again. A warrior (yet unnamed) dies in this battle, and with his dying breath, yearns for the afterlife
that was promised to him. Through the progression of choice, you find that your planet was seeded by two
friends, and intended for their two races to live in harmony. Do you, as a ghost, go back and try to influence
the citizens of your planet to live in peace? Will you leave the mortal world alone and try to find the answers
to the universal questions? Will you find meaning in existence by connecting with others who were also
once like you, and now strive to build a more inclusive community in the afterlife? Or perhaps you will find
your place in the hall of competitions, which will not only feature the accomplishments made in the small handful of minigames available in v2, but of the accomplishments for all of games and sports etc. in general.
​
Features: a true. classic, text/narration and image choose your own adventure type story, much like the ones
we grew up with. This will also showcase how the idea of the "infinity machine", or more specifically, the idea
for the prototype, the "Earth-in-a-box", is already currently set in motion by the human species in separate
areas across the internet, such as social media, search engines, wikipedia and other digital archives etc., and
v2 will strive to have all of these features integrated into it, as well as some simple and fun minigames for
people to compete in for fast times and high scores.
