Something that I\u2019m incorporating in my project is background pictures. Each \u201cpassage\u201d will have a background image. Sometime it\u2019ll be the same image as the previous passage, but most often it will change. At first, having backgrounds doesn\u2019t seem like it will have much of an impact in a story that takes place entirely in a desert, but I have a couple plans that will use the backgrounds very well to enhance the story. The first is that the backgrounds can help to set the scene. Sometimes I want the player to feel like they are in the middle of nowhere, hot, and hopeless. For times like this, I\u2019ll use a picture where there is nothing but sand and an incredibly bright sun. To add to this, I would potentially break the text up into smaller sections so that they are greeted by the same image multiple times in a row (which will convey the feeling of hopelessness). I\u2019ll also be able to use pictures of deserts at nighttime to remind the player what time of the day it is.<\/p>\n
In addition to giving the player a better sense of where they are and what it\u2019s like there, I may make a couple images of areas of the story that are harder to imagine. There is one point of the story where the main character is talking to a snake in a weird area of the desert. The original text spent several paragraphs (most likely just to make \u201cThe Longest Joke in the World\u201d longer) describing this area. It would shorten the amount of text\/passages needed in that section significantly, which would be welcome since I don\u2019t want my game to be unbearably long.<\/p>\n
These are just a few examples of ways I\u2019d implement background images into my game to enhance the experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
