One thing that was refreshing to come back to was the amount of drawing that people had done in terms of creating characters for our world. These provided great help in establishing the feel for our world and our story. Apparently though according to the tutors we need to stop focusing quite so much on the game side of things and work more towards our main question, which is "Can you use games as a method of story telling".
We already know from our research and through previous experience gaming that this was true, but needed to elaborate a bit more on this. This is where our project really took a change for the better in my oppinion. We stopped trying to make a game that told a story, but became more focused on the way in which games told stories. This gave us a greater understanding about how story telling was achieved in games and gave us an idea for our final project, an experiment that tested the different methods and tools that were used within a game, and how effective they were for achieving both enjoyment through gameplay, and enjoyment of the storyline.
