OBJECT STATEMENT

We made a candy-land inspired board game where certain emotions, both positive and negative, dictate the outcome of the game. We chose to go down this route because in both of our stories we experienced a vast array of emotions that influenced us to move in different directions.

Unknown, Discovery, Infinity, Duality

Rose Tint is a sculpture with intent was to show the "other side of the coin" of our fear of the unknown- the beauty of infinity. When we are presented with a daunting, vast environment, we can take it one of two ways- we can fear the unknown, or we can find beauty in the infinite possibilities that the situation presents. We utilize an "infinity mirror" with a with a bridge, a person, and a removable rose-tinted veil. Looking through the small hole in the front with the "rose-tinted" veil (or a positive outlook), you are presented with an infinite amount of characters standing on an infinite amount of bridges, crossing their path steadily. Unfortunately, when you lift that veil, the very act of lifting the veil causes the characters to fall to their doom, detailing how our anxieties may lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.

OBJECT STATEMENT

The goal of our project was to create a game the represented people's emotional growth. Throughout the game you progress through the board, but along the way the game gives you setbacks, symbolizing how life can get in the way. But by the end the player makes it to the end one way or another.

OBJECT STATEMENT

We created a version of traditional chess that starts out extremely confusing, and becomes more familiar and satisfying as you play. We chose to do this because throughout both of our stories, things became clearer to us as they progressed. In this case, the rules become clearer to the two players as the game progresses.

THESIS STATEMENT

Exquisite Corpse Reimagined is a game that is designed to have people remember past events in a fun way. Exquisite Corpse Reimagined is inspired by PEM. An artist named Kimsooja created an exhibit called PEM that intersects clay-making with meditation. The artist believes that working with clay can be meditating and it shows the participant's true colors and personality. The goal is for the participants to make a round ball with clay. The art is made by all of the balls of clay laid out beside each other. In our studio, we wrote stories about important memories to us that highlighted the five senses (touch, taste, sight, smell, hearing). Almost everybody has memory like Abby's first music performance or Nick's discovered love of coding that evokes emotion and was a moment of growth and change for them. Using the idea of this clay-ball project and how it is shown by each individual's project, we decided that we can use our 6 core words from our stories, (passion, expansion, exploration, grit, confidence, and rewarding), to collect a lot of different core-memory stories like ours and make new stories by folding over the paper and adding drawings.

Changes in the Design

The original plan was to have the wires free floating in the model, but that posed a fire hazard; if any live and ground wire touched, it would heat up and potentially catch fire. The potentiometer was also not part of the original plan, but it was needed as the batteries were too powerful for the lights and would burn them out. The reason that I didn't want to swap to smaller batteries was because of safety; it is safer to have the battery pack running at far below its max capacity, as it keeps the pack itself cooler and limits the chance of a fire.

OBJECT STATEMENT

Our object is designed to show how poorly society deals with anxiety; anxiety is something that is not visible to people; it is something that everyone deals with differently; this project had the goal of making anxiety visible; the wiring and lighting are designed to be somewhat chaotic, as that symbolizes the mind of someone with anxiety best.

Project Statement

We seek to create a version of Battleship that abstracts and enhances the relationship between siblings as rivals through modifying the physical design of the game board, pieces, and gameplay mechanics.

Game Testing

1) The Tilting board is very annoying, and makes the game quite difficult to play.

2) The larger side of the board, representing the older sibling, has all of the pieces, and the smaller side has to ask for the pieces; it is very demeaning, just as a sibling rivalry is.

3) We did not put legends on the board, and we will continue to not. It creates chaos, communication issues, and bickering; it's perfect for creating sibling rivalry. It forces players to find new ways to communicate, in a way that siblings can create their own language.

4) We ended up legitimately fighting while playtesting. The game is truly aversive to play, as intended.

Observations

Core Game Loop

Core Game Loop

Game Elements & Rules

• Game plays with traditional battleship attacking system of coordinate squares, hits, misses, and sinking ships

• The pieces represent things siblings commonly fight over

Game Elements & Rules

Game Elements & Rules

• The 'Tattle Token' is a special piece which the 'younger sibling' starts with.
• The opposing player must tell the tokenholder if one of their misses is adjacent to a ship, and share the location of the square that is adjacent to their ship.
• When used, the token must be given to the other player
