So here’s where I’m headed with this.

After poking around that idea for a bit on the N22 bus, I arrived at the phrase ‘In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king’.

My idea is this. After [insert disaster], most of the world have lost their sight, hearing and the ability to talk. You however, can still hear, your one remaining sense. You somehow stumble across a man who can see and talk, but can no longer hear. Together you team up to make your way across the [insert environment] and reach [insert goal].

The game is played with no graphics at all, just a pair of headphones and the d-pad/arrow keys. In fact, it’s best played with your eyes closed. I’ve been fiddling around with 3D sound positioning to get that sweet sweet immersion everyone talks about these days.

It plays out like an audio only text adventure, with you making choices on the d-pad. Of course, the seeing, talking man is played my myself, and sound effects are all being gathered tomorrow from around town/my flat.

Biggest challenge ahead: writing and recording a good, branching story in the time left. Only has to be a few minutes long, for now, but still…
