The Yellow Raft

The game is a survival strategy game, it is based on going around to your limited items on the raft and searching for different tools throughout the game while you are stuck on a yellow raft drifting in the sea. 

The player's role in the game is to search for different items in suitcases, backpacks, and your pockets in order to find the correct order of tools to unlock an ending you are satisfied with.

The goal that I have for the player is to develop critical thinking skills and also problem-solve the game through repetition by going through the game multiple times collecting all the hints until you find the one ending you are looking for

When Ethan played my game that was probably the most helpful thing we have done in this class so far. He allowed me to visually see what the players are doing when going through the game and figuring out where to add more content but also gave me revision and feedback on specific locations of items to add a more realistic story telling to the game. He also inspired me to change my entire game from a one action per day to unlimited but the game evolves with each interaction and you can move forward whenever you want. 

I use links both as extensions of my story allowing for people to access different story lines or also physically as the character gain access to certain items that will change the course of the story if they choose to do so. The link examples would be “Search BookBag” or “Search Red Suitcase” which both of will allow the player to either gain a moldy steak that allows for a shark ending or get a package that has 4 endings tied to it.
