research and games that inspire the idea

2009-01-05T15:15:00.000-08:00

Game i looked at was The Negotiator

Description: Playing the negotiator game may very well one day help you save someones ones life..or end it! Use the arrow keys to select an appropriate answer.

Category: Skill
another game i have been looking at is mainly because of the investigations is solve a murder which is on the site crime investigations site i like the rollover concept to find clues

\

This CTV game is one of the best I came across. It is user friendly when it comes to the game inventory. When you click on the item it plays an animation. When it goes into your back pack icon located in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, you click on the backpack. The back pack item you clicked can load the game inventory window and you can browse though the items you have collected. You cannot click the items and a little information displays on top of the items which I think is a flaw look at the nice illusions which also matches the laid back music. Another thing which I like about the inventory is that not all of the object in are important and used to solve the puzzle so you get a bonus inventory which is the extra items you pick up and still use to interact with the other aspect of the game or use as tool like to see the time.

Crime and Investigation inspired me to layout the game the way i did

site brief

Solve The Murder

A body is found in a bathtub. Was it an accident or not?

Join the investigation now and help crack the case.

this is the game inventory where you can collect clues

this the games map where you can go to different environment and look for clues

this is the starting brief

This game is another game i look at

( Point and Click Game) Your task is to investigate a suspicious car insurance claim. Find the clues at the accident scene to solve the crime.

Detective Notes

Dr. Black - found dead on Saturday evening at approximately 8.45pm. The body was found at the foot of the stairs leading to the cellars, on a spot marked "X". Miss Scarlett found the body. Apparently, her screams were heard in the village nearby! Does Miss Scarlett protest too much?

Cause of death has yet to be determined, but there are several likely objects around the house that could have been used:

Dagger - found in the lounge
Candlestick - found in the dining room
Revolver - found in the study
Rope - found in the ballroom
Lead Pining - found in the conservatory
Spanner - found in the kitchen

Chief suspects have to be the guests who are here for the weekend. They are:

Col. Mustard (Yellow)
Prof. Plum (Purple)
Rev. Green (Green)
Mrs. Peacock (Blue)
Miss Scarlett (Red)
Mrs. White (White)

All seem anxious to talk!

he Game

HOW TO SOLVE THE MYSTERY

At the beginning of the game, a character, weapon and room card will be placed secretly into the murder envelope.

To solve the mystery you must find out…

Who committed the crime;

What was the weapon used; and

In which room the crime was committed.

(The three cards in the envelope will reveal the answers.)

You will be dealt some card. (Don't let the other players see these cards!) You can immediately eliminate these characters, rooms and weapons from your investigation.

During the game, move from room to room to make your enquiries. Once inside a room, make a "suggestion" on your turn by calling a character and a weapon into the room. You can then question your fellow players as, one by one, you ask them to reveal if they have a card that matches the room you're in or the character and weapon you've named in your suggestion. Your turn ends when one of these is matched by another player's card. Keep note of your findings and carry on playing.

By clever deduction, you'll eventually be ready to make an accusation. Will you be first to reveal the answer to the mystery?

The Investigation

SETTING THE SCENE FOR THE INVESTIGATION

Carefully remove the character playing pieces from their plastic frames. If you have difficulty use safety scissors. Fix each character into its corresponding coloured base. Follow the numbers shown in the Detective Notes to match the right base with the right character. [M&M: In previous versions of the game, characters are represented by pieces of the correct colour - you do not have to fit things together.] Place all six playing pieces on their corresponding START spaces around the board. NOTE: Spare playing pieces fall under suspicion just the same as the pieces in play, and can therefore be called into rooms by players making suggestions.
Place the weapons in the rooms where they were found at the beginning of the investigation. See Detective Notes.
Shuffle the six character cards then take the top card and secretly place it in the "Murder Envelope". Do the same with the room cards and weapon cards. You should end up with three random cards in the murder envelope: one character card, one weapon card and one room card.
Shuffle the remaining cards together, making sure none of the cards are seen by any of the players. Deal all the cards to all the players. Some players may receive more cards than others according to the number of players in the game. These players will start the game with a slight advantage.
Each player takes a sheet from the Detective Notebook. You will use this to eliminate characters, weapons and rooms. Keep it covered throughout the game. Don't let the other players see who or what you have eliminated from your enquiries.

PLAYING DETECTIVES

Choose the playing piece which is closest to you on the board to be your character. You will move this character around the board.
Each player rolls one die. The highest number goes first [M&M: In previous versions of the game, Miss. Scarlett moves first - as she discovered the body.] Play then continues clockwise.
On your turn - roll both dice and move that number of spaces around the board.

Entering a room

When you enter a room, you can immediately make a suggestion. You do this by calling into the room any character or weapon involved in you deduction.

For example, you enter the conservatory and call in Professor Plum and the spanner. (Place the Professor Plum playing piece and the spanner in the conservatory.) Now make you suggestion - "I suggest it was Professor Plum, in the conservatory, with the spanner".

Hint: A player's piece may remain in the same room for as many turns as it takes to eliminate that room from the investigation.

Answering a suggestion

If the player to your right makes a suggestion, and you have at least one of the cards mentioned, you must show one of these cards secretly to this player.

If you don't have any, the enquiry passes to the next player and so on, until one of the cards has been shown to the player making the suggestion.

At certain times in the game, particularly near the end, it is possible that none of the players will have any of the cards mentioned in the suggestion.

Making your deductions

Before you make a suggestion you must be clear about what information you want to obtain. Are you trying to find the culprit? Do you want to eliminate a room or are you searching to find the murder weapons?

If you search for general clues you may want to mention those characters, rooms and weapons that you don't hold in you hand!

If on the other hand, you are trying to eliminate a specific character, you could include in you suggestion a weapon card and a room card that you hold in your hand. If nobody has the character you name, you can safely assume that this is in the murder envelope and the character in your suggestion is therefore the murderer. If another player shows you the character card, eliminate this character from you investigation by crossing the name from your list of suspects in your Detective Notebook.

The Accusation

MEANS, MOTIVE, OPPORTUNITY!

Keep moving you playing piece around the board, making suggestions when you enter rooms, until you think you know the answer to the three questions:

Who committed the crime?

What was the weapon used? and

In which room the crime was committed?

Having made a suggestion, you can in the same turn, make an accusation.

To make an accusation, write down the answer to the three questions in your Detective Notebook. You must be sure, as you can only make one accusation in the game.

Once you have written down the answers, look in the envelope to confirm you suspicions.

If you are correct

Reveal the three cards to the other players and declare yourself "Super Slueth".

If you make a wrong accusation

Replace the three cards in the envelope, making sure none of the other players sees the murder cards. You must remain in the game to answer the other players' suggestions. You can't make another suggestion or accusation.

The Facts

GATHERING THE FACTS

Players must enter the rooms by the doors only. The doorways do not count as a space. Once you have entered a room, this is the end of your turn. On you next turn you can move onto a secret passage and gain entry to another room without throwing the dice. This constitutes you move.

The secret passages are from the lounge to the conservatory, and the kitchen to the study.

Playing pieces must not move diagonally. No two pieces can occupy the same square, and you can't move you piece through the square on which another piece stands. A room, however, may be occupied by any number of pieces and weapons.

Playing pieces called to different locations on the board are not returned to their original place. If you find that your piece has been moved to a room you wanted to visit, you can automatically make a suggestion involving that room on you next turn.

The art of conspiracy - you can make suggestions involving cards you hold to confuse other players.

False witness - if it is discovered that you accidentally failed to show a card in you hand that was involved in a suggestion, you can no longer take part in the investigation. You must, however, remain in the game to answer suggestions.

Click and point Games I reseach

2008-11-12T07:30:00.000-08:00

Games i looked at which are click and point

First try at boxoffice

2008-11-05T10:51:00.000-08:00

this is my first attempt at the box office

this is the second attempt st the box office when using the photos i took in the as a references

research and games that inspire the idea

2008-09-25T12:28:00.000-07:00

The idea that inspired me was web comic called hotel doctor

"HOTEL is a 10-part animation that takes place in the anonymous space of an extraordinary and strange hotel. This hotel is the home base of Preconstruction, the company run by Dr. Doglin. Doglin is an unusual doctor conducting research into 'freak accidents'. In exchange for payment, volunteers agree to undergo tests that Dr. Doglin performs on them. Hotel is a game in which seemingly nothing can be lost, but also nothing can be won."

The only thing about the web comic is the navgations maybe at the time it good but i had touble following the story.

the style og charecrs fit the style of the environment is what i hope to do in my game.

here are some screen shoot of the game
