And so it began...

Today we had our first proper meeting after forming the group, all members present! We discussed topics from the last time we spoke on how we think the narrative will be structured. Spoke about possibly having several different genres spliced into it by having each story-arc the user chooses, themed. For example, a particular route may be comedy driven, or another may be horror driven, depending on which choices the user makes.
For the moment, we have settled on an overall theme for the story of a spy/espionage adventure. At the beginning, the user will be "recruited" by an elusive agency who will give them a mission to complete, but how they complete it, is up to them. This allows for the user to make their own choices and experience their own adventure, while at the same time having a set goal to achieve and an ending to reach. They may reach this ending, or may end their story entirely different.

So once we finished brainstorming on these ideas, we decided to set out some tasks to do before our next meeting next week. First up was research: we all had to go forth and find sources of inspiration in things related to our current theme. So that meant having to watch some spy movies such as the Bond movies, Bourne movies, etc, and some spy programmes such as Chuck and Burn Notice (Oh woe is life!). Also, we had to try find stuff online and maybe some books related to our theme. We also did not want to limit ourselves just yet so if anyone found any interesting unrelated stuff, that was good too! Our ideas may change after all. So this, along with notes and any inspired ideas were to be brought to the next meeting where we could share and brainstorm further.
Till next week!:)
