Mapping Process
It has been a while since I looked at the mapping of the project process. So I had made a few sketches on paper how the map has evolved.
Image jet to be made
On the weekly meetings with my colleagues an interesting point came up. The map is the detail source of the process. Next to the map there is a document about the overview and general terms of the process. I have not thought about the timeline. So the suggestion came make a colour code for the map to be able to see the timeline. An important point to remember.
Presentation
For the presentation on 16 march we have to show what we have, want and why. It is also a good thing to show what is going to be made in the end. In my case it is going to be a “proof of concept”.
In preparation of the upcoming presentation I am going to make sketches of the scenario how I think the “player” will experience my project. With each image I will try to write down the rules at that point and why.
I think that are 3 parts a small explanation what the project is (self-portrait), the scenario and what exactly I am going to make at the end of the project.
Project
I am the stage to make some kind of prototype of the interactive network. Here kame up to use Wikispaces. I make my own wiki after all. If this is the way to go for the real product is yet to be seen.
Even though the project is called the Curiosity shop I always thought that this would not be the actual title of the shop or experience. Yesterday I had a thought that might be interesting. I really liked the title “The Keeper of Secrets” . In different old mythologies it is also connected to the Raven. The Raven was feared but it also was a sign of looking into your inner darkness revealing the fears and light the dark. Who knows, it was just a thought.

Assignment - #3 The Objects
Instead to figure out before hand how the mechanics should work I am going to collect a few objects and play around how I would connect them to each other.
Here is a list of objects that I am playing with:
A schelf on the wall
A locket
A skull of a raven
A small magnifying glass
Porcelain nuts
Crochet sea coral
Fox tail
Plant pot, looks like weeds growing between the bricks/tiles

Research - Mapping and ARGs

Mapping
I am trying to use Prezi to map out my research and process. It is till a bit of a try and error to use it but I have a feeling that it might work for me.
Prezi website
Alternate Reality Game
The ARG genre is a big inspiration how to use the world as the platform of the game. Even though one might know an ARG there is no real definition of the genre. There a different views on what makes an ARG. I remember when I went to the ARGfest 2010 that there still many ways to use the idea of an ARG. During my visit there I sometimes felt that they might make the games a bit to hardcore and therefor never really get the mainstream audience to play along.
This brings me to a post I found of a company that do make ARG like games. He explains many things I have also observed. Though, he wrote this in December of 2008 I feel that these issues still are current.
Everything you know about ARGs is WRONG
The thing I am mostly curios about is what they call the Rabbit Hole. The first contact between the players to the actual game. How do we guide them to the game and keep them captivated to play.

Concept - Research Process
donderdag 27 januari 2011
Next to the project itself I want to show the research and how I have used the research. I was thinking to use a mind map as a platform.
As I was looking at different mind maps I had an idea I might want to do for the final presentation. I have fantasy about actually making a paper map, like road maps. This map will help the reader go through the pieces of information. Right now the pieces of information would be small video presentations, which probable would be hosted on youtube.
This idea came to me when I was looking at different diagrams (previous post) and the map of a city-game called “The Jejune Institute”
