Super Tiki Monkey Temple

We (CC, Adrian, and I) met with Katie yesterday to discuss the script for the Tiki Monkey Game. To help her out a bit we began by showing her the prototype game and talked about how we saw it developing and the dialog we thought it needed. We also discussed the main objective of the game and how we wanted the game to refer to the song at some point. We then walked through the game from beginning to end and identified the times when dialog would be needed.

Entrance:
We see then entrance to the temple and the parrot tells the player what they are looking at and what will happen if the go in there. Some basic back story on the game. This then leads to the instructions screen. The parrot states how the game is played and maybe poses some questions to keep in mind while playing. Then the player is instructed to proceed.

Level 1: Meet the Bananas
Parrot explains interface and what to do in this screen. Again, restates question to make the player think about observing monkey behavior. Parrot will make a comment if the player fails to get the monkey moving properly and is also available for help if clicked on a any point. When player gets through first level they are congratulated and then get a "statistics" screen which tells them how well they did and prompts them to the next screen.

Level 2 : Bananas into Practice
" Now you know what bananas do ..." Hints, Statistics screen, The end of this level has a fruit explosion and congrats on reaching the new level which has unlocked apples and what they do. Reminder on observing. next level

Level 3 : Apple Awesomeness!

Level 4: Apples and bananas into practice

Level 5 : meet the grapes

Level 6: all three fruits into practice

Level 7: push pineapple shake the tree

Level 8 : 4 fruit fantasy

Level 9 : Blender is added
This needs to be explained

Level 10: 2nd blend level
Reach the end of this level and we are satisfied and player gets a chorus of the hypothesis song

2 or 3 more levels until reach the exit and get the great golden monkey helmet of pirate island and prompts to get back to the main game.

I think the exercise was very helpful for her, and us, it helped solidify the game a little more. She stated that she had a much clearer idea of what she needed to do and would begin working immediately.
