In today's class we started brainstorming what features we would have for our Space station. Some of the features I researched were platforms for the Space station and Space rangers.

Space station platform eg.

Space ranger2


Space ranger3

Some suggestions I came up with for the Space station story is the small domes surrounding the main dome will each have different colours. Inside those small domes will have main control rooms where you have to crack the code in each colour coded control room to activate the main colour coded switches near the main dome to access the room.

In today's class we learned how to create Pop guns in Second Life and use various objects as bullets. I used cushions, seats and couches as bullets which was quite fun to use. My next task is to research costumes for the Second Life Space Station.

For today's class we learnt about non-linear narratives and were shown examples of Seven Story Shapes by Katherine Phelps. We were also shown an example of a computer-generated cybertext called Eliza and we were given the chance to interact with it. We were then asked to research an Alternate Reality Game of our choice. I chose Never Rest Game which is a new counter-terroism ARG in which players must thwart terrorism by using their own methods against them when they least expect it. The interesting thing about this ARG is that it describes itself as explicitly educational and is more of an Instructional Alternate Reality Game (I-ARG).

Towards the end of the lesson, we watched a movie called Run Lola Run which showed an example of a non-linear story.
