Hopes and Dreams

[00:11:00] Liz Edwards: I was thinking we could do night / day -- some things are open in the day, some things at night
[00:11:38] Liz Edwards: the game will probably be linear (i assume!) but itd be nice to revisit places and have them different
[00:16:33] Liz Edwards: i find it really sad when games are only set at night, too, i don't know why haha

[00:19:20] Danny Weatherley: haha yeah good idea!
[00:19:32] Danny Weatherley: i like the idea that its switchable and that could be part of the puzzle

[00:20:29] Liz Edwards: yeah, even if its just an option to say, "lets get some rest and check it out in the morning"
[00:20:50] Liz Edwards: but if you skip too many days without progress your boss gets mad or something haha

[00:22:50] Danny Weatherley: it'd be great it at just certian intervalls people get mad at you for doing typical game stuff

[00:23:07] Liz Edwards: i'd love that
[00:23:38] Liz Edwards: i hate getting repeated responses
[00:24:03] Liz Edwards: we should try to have that not happen!
[00:26:15] Liz Edwards: like you can ask a question a few times but the responses are "You already asked - I said,-"
"Seriously? I said-"
"Are you malfunctioning or what?"
and then the question disappears

[00:26:32] Liz Edwards: we'd have to have a note system so responses can still be read by the player

[00:27:43] Danny Weatherley: yeah like a journal or something

[00:28:06] Liz Edwards: the player should be able to write in it too
[00:28:34] Liz Edwards: i can't remember what game it is that lets you respond to emails you recieve
[00:28:54] Liz Edwards: Uplink let you, and there was another
[00:28:56] Liz Edwards: maybe the xfiles game
[00:29:08] Liz Edwards: i just love being able to write things back, mostly dumb things
[00:29:28] Liz Edwards: even if just to get a canned "this email bounced", "I am away on holiday!", response :B
