Today we met again to choose a concept we wanted to work with, sticking to our time plan. We decided to base the game on the card game 'Through the window'. This was because it was a simple game that could be easily adapted and acted as a good starting point to build on that hasn't been done before.
Initial ideas for adaptation:
We decided to make a very quick prototype from torn up paper with words scribbled onto them just to see if the game worked. We didn't include the consequence cards only a few cards for the main deck.
We then wrote down any problems with the game-play that we found and how we could improve.
After we had discussed through certain points we decided that the main deck would be compromised of words and picture cards where associations could be made. We also discussed through the problem of the game possibly being more orientated to a younger audience and how we could get around this - we decided taking out the beginning phrase. It was suggested to add in popular culture references and things that would provoke different responses which could cause shock/laughter. Adding in certain rules also increases the difficulty of the game which would make it more appropriate for a more mature audience.
Based on this we needed a more playable prototype which incorporated all elements of the game as well as general outline of the rules to play to. We are in the process of creating some rough cards to be able to play the game with. We also drew up the rules to act as general outline for the game.
