MGRA501 Authorship and Interaction Final Project brief:

The task is to create a project that is based on ONE of the following themes:
1. Data Gathering & Display Remix (ThePost StructuralistAuthor) ‐
2. Ones and zeros (Digital Nature)
3. Forking pathways (Narrative & Games)
4. Off screen interaction (Sensory engagement and the Haptic)

In this theory/practice combined exploration you will develop a concept
that reflects on the theme you are exploring in your essay and culminate in
a design prototype. The project can be produced but is not limited to
digital media. You will document research and development of the project
on your hotglue website and submit the project outcome to the
Undergraduate (Registry) office on 7
thJanuary

3. Forking pathways (Narrative & Games)

As my essay question is

"Examine the informational structure of one digital game or one digital narrative of your choice. Explore these as examples of interaction, with particular reference to the role of the audience in each."

I am going to focus on exploring flow charts, game design and interactive storytelling. In my essay I discuss both World of War Craft (left) and Day Z (above). I explore their interactive narratives and the affect they have culturally and emotionally.
