Starting: A Magic Kingdom After Bedtime

[Selene Tan]

This is an idea I've had kicking around for a while but never really developed. It's a game where you play a group of children who discover a magical land that they have to help save. But, as in the best children's books, the situations in the magical land are metaphorical and teach the children how to believe in themselves and work together.

That's what I've got right now. Pretty nebulous.

Hi Selene,

have you started writing? Should we be rooting for you, or just leave you to contemplate?

Best of luck, anyway - it's definitely an idea that could be developed!

Good luck in the game!

I'm looking forward to seeing the results of this one. There are a lot of games which deal with children and their imagination (like Little Fears and Changeling) so I'm curious as to what angle this one will take.

As a child, I remember running around with imaginary swords and fighting battles in the playground in my gradeschool. I'm suddenly excited to see if this one will be able to bring out a sense of wonder.

Whoo, basically finished! But now my family is insisting I go out to dinner with them, and my time is practically up.

(~3 pages)

It definitely has rough edges, especially around setting creation, but I think I managed a solid play structure.

Yay!

I'll agree on the play structure. but I'm still curious about the matrix for resolution.

It's an interesting mechanic, and now I'm bouncing it around my head to see if I can find any more uses for it...

Das Henne-Ei-Problem also die Redewendung ?Was war zuerst da: die Henne oder das Ei? ist oft und viel diskutiert worden. Doch wie ist es bei der ? Erst der Text oder doch die Melodie? Und wie authentisch sind eigentlich die Texte? Wann und auf welche Art und Weise kommen die Songs ?berhaupt zu Stande?
