This week we focuses on world building and setting the basic idea for our game. We also distributed roles to group members and came up with a general development guideline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concepts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We have set our game to be an AR mystery game inspired by Sherlock Holmes mysteries set in a cyberpunk universe. The players will explore a futuristic campus looking for clues and solving puzzles, making deductions to solve a murder case. By uncovering a gripping nonlinear narrative, the player will learn about the ugly truth of the cyberpunk universe and decide their own ending. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Narrative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In Neo-Tokyo, a city controlled by corporations, a hacker named Max was hired by a mysterious client to hack into the NeoTech Group, one of the largest corporations. Max discovered their involvement in illegal activities, including human trafficking and murder, leading to a massive cover-up operation. Despite managing to escape and hide the evidence, Max was eventually hunted down and murdered by the corporation. Before his death, he left a clue to uncover the evidence and bring justice to the crimes committed by the NeoTech Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After running through numerous digital and non-digital games , we decided to go into depth about the Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective Board Game, especially its mechanics, game loop and the structure. We also gained insights from multiple AR games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
