February 1st, Pitch Day Meeting

Ramy D – Spatial Distortion
- Spatial Distortion to accelerate plot.
- Gateways can look THROUGH into completely different rooms. Ie: you can see a sphere through a doorway but only when looking THROUGH. The sphere is not actually PRESENT.
- The example can be found in some films such as “the Number 23, part 05 of 11”. Jim is up somewhere, the camera moves, and suddenly he is elsewhere. Continuous reality.
- PROGRAMMING TRICKS  NEEDS STORYWRITER. MODELERS. ANOTHER PROGRAMMING.
- Camera angles will be triggers. If you look at something a certain way, perspective changes and a key plot point is revealed. The world is malleable, everything changes gradually.
- Not looking for something visually complex but progressively detailed.

Mohannad – ART DIRECTION PITCH
- Very washed out, no obvious horror elements, grayscale
- Story Ideas; “Nature’s Evolution”. Humans are parasites feeding off the planet. Nature’s way to fix it is to slowly mutate our DNA to be closer to more valuable creatures/animals. People start developing weird deformations.
- “Consequences”. Wheelchair guy develops joints and bones to deal with his condition
- GAMEPLAY IDEAS: 4D painting that you can go into and live in. Static environment and characters except for minor animation cycles (eyes, water drips, etc.). Like modern warfare 2 ending “the museum”; acting out action scenes in “boxes”. Quiet other players, only bother you if you bother them.

Nancy – Tuesday: a tale of being terrible  http://netownsend.net/ccgd/

Pedro – PANEL KILL/BODY EXPLORATION
- Comic book exploration, like a choose your own adventure book.
- You can mix and match your characters ie: put Calvin and Hobbes into “Watchmen”. Mixing genres make the story more entertaining. Like exploring a comic book, moving panel to panel.
- GAME IDEA2: You are a ball of lights that “fixes” the body, repair dead cells, eliminate disease etc.
- Full 3dimensional space: locate yourself, control the white sphere and learn new movements with it. Collect points to get new abilities. Precise surgical tasks, like sewing arteries.
- Reference: Trauma Center Series, movements like flower.

KODAMA (Japanese for spirit)
- Grow your own planet. One flower into many, many trees, roots combine in the middle area
- Cute little white blog character. A specific happy/cutesy feeling, you are creating your own ecosystem.
- Little due holds a cloud like a kite and walks around to make things grow. Every time you restart, you make a new world.
- THERE ARE NO THREATS

Jonathan
- You are on the verge of becoming a zombie, you must take drugs.

Samir
- Playing with sound

EVERYONE WHO HAD A GAME IDEA, PLEASE POST IT TO THE GROUP!!
