I think I’m changing my topic slightly- I can’t incorporate an entire murder mystery narrative into my project, so I’m making the narrative more geared towards finding a diamond (or something else) hidden somewhere in the house.
I want the viewer to be able to walk around the room (free navigation), and for sounds to change as they move closer or further away from objects- like the fire gets louder if you move towards it, and the wind gets louder if you move towards the door.
I’m considering making my project more sound dependent, so maybe you discover more clues as you move towards different sounds.
Also- just in terms of details- I’m planning to add windows and wind blowing outside. Considering making the windows interactable so you can open or close them. Also will add books on the table maybe, just fill up the room a bit more and make it bigger, right now it seems a bit bare.
To make the environment creepy, I’m going to dim the lights further, so the only source of light is the fire and the windows.
Interaction 1– you swipe at the globe and it spins around (with the sound effect “whoosh” or “spin”), maybe opening a secret passageway which you can climb down (like the climb up thing we learned in class) leading to another room (not planning to have this room super detailed though) behind a locked door.
Option 2- Alternatively, the globe has a keyhole.
Interaction 2– There’s something peeking out from underneath the carpet so you kick it aside with your foot (no idea how to do this, will go to office hours) to reveal a key but you have no idea where it goes- maybe opens the locked door downstairs. when you discover the passageway it gets “highlighted” sort of like spidey senses.
Option 2- The key goes into the globe which turns on other lights in the room.
Interaction 3– You look at a window and it rattles, swinging open and shut, with the sound effect “creak” and the wind gets louder.
The screen recording doesn’t have interactions yet, it’s just a converted AR format- I need more help with interactions. I also need to make my own globe asset so I can separate the globe from its stand to spin it. Also may need to do the same with the rug.
