Notes on project ideas (discarded)

Initially, I was taken with the idea of designing a room or space filled with paraphernalia relating to the occupant or owner of the space. Through this I would enhance my understanding of environmental storytelling.

This environment would reflect the strengths and weaknesses of a character, and the player would learn intimate details about them without ever seeing the character.

I was going to (and probably still will) read into production design for information on mise en scene; to assist with including items relevant to the environment and its purpose.

The environment would change over time, as the player learned more about the inhabitant from the objects found in the environment.

It would have been a good platform to explore

• mental illness
• disability
• emotional instability
• etc.
