Workaholic
This project was about addressing work, labor, and the task in society. My goal with this project was to conceptualize repeition in the work force.
Start:
I wanted to create a game that embodied the work force. At first I had ideas to create a game where every word was randomly and constistenly each letter got bigger as a you typed, to show mindless typing away. New Ideas:
However I decided that write out “WORKEATSLEEPREPEAT” to show a hidden message. Then instead of each word getting bigger I had this issue where the camera would constantly keep moving faster and faster as you typed. So I added a trigger to the camera to detect if the text is in the camera view. When the text gets out of your camera view you start losing, and when the text is in the camera view, you gain points.
Burnout:
After I wanted to add one more mechanic, so I added a slider on the top that illustrated burnout, if you typed too fast the bar when up and if it was filled you lost. This game is very quick and lasts maybe 30- 2 mins to play each time. I presented it to my class and the playtest went very well
