Yeah, I know. We were LIED TO at preschool. Childhood: destroyed. \":-(\"<\/p>\n

My idea: You are a nurse at a hospital for solo adventurers. It’s dangerous to go alone, but they went anyway, so now they’re sick. Each one has a different illness, represented by a different colour. In true homeopathy style (hey, it is a fantasy<\/em> universe), to cure an illness of a particular colour you must make a potion of that colour, by mixing primary colours together.<\/p>\n

Since potion colours are caused by pigments (SCIENCE!)<\/em>, a subtractive colour scheme is called for – namely, CMY. I wanted to use Red-Yellow-Blue, but it doesn’t actually work in practice. Sadness.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I have so far: Playable Demo<\/a> (requires Unity Web Player)<\/p>\n

What do you reckon - graphics award is in the bag, yeah?<\/p><\/div>\n

Click boxes to go there. You can visit the grey box to pick up a (weirdly-spherical) flask, and then visit the cyan, yellow, and magenta boxes to fill it with colours. Colours mix together quasi-correctly (I cheated and scaled them, so that one of the CMY channels is always at 100%, to make mixed colours look more vibrant).<\/p>\n

The other rectangle thing will be a bed, eventually.<\/p>\n
