This isn't the final project that I wanted.
I had a very cool game concept put together and planned out, but couldn't tie everything together, which is a shame.
I'm sure that over break all the planets will align and I will be blessed with the time and foresight to complete it the way I have it imagined.
Instead here is a bit of prose about the real, and a few trailheads and a puzzle that are almost ready to be tied together.
I think there is enough here to make something really cool, or, at least, virtually cool.
Reflecting on the class as a whole, I really love the concept of comparing the Virtual and the Real, and think reality is completely subjective.
I've enjoyed the idea of creating little bits and pieces of a world, starting with a webpage, interactive fiction and then on to full blown ARG-ness. One thing that i really liked about this class is that you get a chance to make something up, something completely random and off the wall, and then physically insert it into the world, and that act makes it real. So Cool.
Crazyness.
Cheers!
