But with it all done, I think we all feel a sense of pride of pulling through the whole game application together.

we spent a solid 2 hours figuring out how to create the chat and what colour in order to fit with the whole app, because white boxes didn’t work but coloured boxes had too much colour and all did not match well. In the end we decided to take colours from our background itself and give it 50-70% transparency to keep it light and we stuck with it and went off to creating all the chat graphics for every line. Three of us working all at the same time took us about 12 hours straight to finish the graphics and then we started coding it all in.

We decided on the colour scheme and Sunny went with it to create the graphics which we settled on it and started fixing the codes and making the chat template on Animate in order to start coding the whole script.

Written Letter of the Rules for the website + visitor logs of hostel

We started working out the first prototype without much graphics in order to test it out on Animate and get familiar with it as we need to push through it for a lot of hours and we want to make sure we get things right and understand Animate so that we know it before we start grinding out every scene only to realise we made mistakes.

While I was writing through, we started the other characters as a joke for a quick humour, but in a way I realise that they have their own voice and character and we can make us of them to help push the story forward without only just talking to Red which is definitely a skewed truth to her words with some discrepancies and lies. Adding the extra voices just help to throw suspicion and doubt to the player and we decided to give them more role to play in the story.

The website is like an extra to the application that adds to the story but much of the information adds a lot of backstory but may not be necessary. We can use the website in order to tell more of the backstory of Daisy as we don’t communicate with her so this is our way of knowing Daisy and her past. We can bring in codes and clues to hint to whats going on.

Sunny did up a few idea for the Hostel Logo and we’re testing out the colours that we want to represent it as well. We settled with Red as red has the colour representation of sex, as well as the main character’s name and we wanted to make that connection with the sex trade and prostitution.
