Another conversation minigame designed during out meeting last Thursday -- this one was prototyped in about 45 minutes immediately after. This is an abstraction of a conversation from the point of view of a freelance reporter. Obviously, her mental models are based on words. This is a prototype of a particular mechanic we wanted to try -- in a full game, the player would be attempting to use the word blocks to surround and capture an enemy character, representing the way the protagonist is adept at twisting her subject's words to trap him. Here's a link to download the SWF directly (for full size).
To play:
- Click on the big click button.
- As words begin to appear, type a letter that appears in the word on the screen. This will cause a new word to start.
- Words fade away after a short while, so type quickly!
