(How to become a Screenwriter?) Assignment: 2.1 Inner Life

 

( Due: Sun, 1st Jan | Status: Not Completed )

 

1. Watch “Inner Life” Video https://youtu.be/VHA2sH87Wng

 

2. This week we’re going to have more podcast lectures than usual, and the lectures will overlap the reading to a degree. It is very important to do both, as the ideas we’ll be considering this week are some of the most difficult of the class.

 

3. Make time this week to look at at least one of these games that deal with psychology and memory: consider how they use these techniques to develop personality and motivation.

a. Creaky Old Memory: http://www.creakyoldmemory.com/

b. Opera Omnia: http://www.increpare.com/2009/02/opera-omnia/

c. Façade: http://www.interactivestory.net/ CAUTION: the Mac version of this game seems to be broken - unless you have access to a Windows PC, you'll need to try one of the other two options.

d. Creaky Old Memory and Façade are both fairly easy to play (not necessarily so easy to "beat"). Opera Omnia is a little harder to get used to, so if it frustrates you, you may want to switch games.
