Supervisor Tutorial 3: Adjusting the Location and Working Title

I showed Daniel the updated Google Sketchup's I created of the room. He stated that these looked great and was definitely progress.

I really wanted there to be a vending machine involved in the Room Escape game and we decided collectively that having the vending machine in an office would not be very likely. So a new, but similar location needed to be thought of.

We decided that the location would work best as a waiting room instead, this way the items currently in the room could stay and it would roughly work the same way.

Due to the layout of my current Google Sketchup project, turning it into a waiting room instead of an office would not be a problem as it would only involve adding new items to the artefact.

Daniel stated that the title "How I Escaped" would work better if it was named after the location it was set and in turn should be called "The Waiting Room". I thought this was a good idea but also remembered that lecturers from the previous module thought "How I Escaped" was a good title as it went well with the narration concept.

In the end, we decided it would work best as "How I Escaped: The Waiting Room" which would work particularly well as part of a series.

To my knowledge some gaming websites only allow a certain amount of characters to be used when writing a title for your game. As this is the case, the alternate short version of  the title would be "HIE: The Waiting Room". But of course, displayed in the games SWF it would still be "How I Escaped: The Waiting Room".
