Day 60: Audio-Only Game: Day 35

Now that I've gotten the basic outline for the game done, I can now do a much more detailed "script" for the game, sort of like a movie script. So, here we go...

The game starts with a black screen (the whole game will be like that), and silent. The sound of two horses gradually fades in. One horse can be heard to the left of the player, and one in the same spot as the player, to give the impression that the character is riding it. On the second horse is the person guiding the player.

[guide] Have you ever met Jarl Henrik before?

[player] Yes, I have. I met him during the war against the Southern kingdom. We were friends then.

[guide] Will he remember you?

[player] (sounding slightly offended) Of course he will. Would he have invited me otherwise?

[guide] Sorry, I did not mean to offend.

[player] (sighs) No offence taken. I spoke out of turn.

(a few seconds of silence)

[guide] Does Henrik know that you're...

[player] I don't believe so.

[guide] How will you tell him?

[player] He will see when he comes close enough. Knowing Henrik, he will probably be over-dramatic about it, but some things can not be helped.

[guide] I can see the manor up ahead. It's quite a nice looking thing.

[player] Henrik always was one for fancy decorations.

[guide] I'll say. I can scarcely imagine the amount of gold he-

[Henrik] Old friend, is that really you?! My, how the years have flown.

(the horses stop. sound of guide dismounting and Henrik walking towards them.)

[guide] Let me help you down, sir.

[Henrik] Who is this with you?

[player] My guide.

[Henrik] Why would you need a guide?

[player] (slightly sad voice) I'm blind, Henrik.

[Henrik] Dear lord...what happened?

[player] That is a story for another time, but I can say it was during the war, after we parted.

[Henrik] It pains me to see you like this. But no matter, now is not the time for bitter sadness. Tonight, we feast!

(Henrik leads the player and guide into his manor, where many conversations are taking place. Some people notice who Henrik is leading)

[guest 1] It's him...

[guest 2] No, it can't be.

[guest 3] Is he blind?

[guest 1] ...fought a dozen South-men, and won...


Next class I will continue the script.
