As we approach our 12 week deadline the game design document is filling up well and is almost finished.
I use the term almost finished loosely here though as there is always a point where you re-read over something and realise you need to make adjustments to it for everything else to make sense.
I was having a bit of a hard time writing within the document how the player would choose the Scientist class, as the idea of the pod for Somnium was that upon entering the pod the player would be faced with his class choice.
In my Scientist backstory, I'd written initially that he was a university graduate that was recruited to work for Dreamscape on the somnium project, however I've had to tweak this slightly.
We have decided that the Scientist was the person that came up with the idea of Somnium, however died before his work could be completed. His work has since been carried out by Dreamscape, and customers have the option to play out the part of the man that started it all.
He soon finds himself thrown into the deep-end when the machine starts to malfunction and he is called upon by Dreamscapes senior analyst to perform what starts off as light debugging routines, to uncovering a virus named DV8 that has been introduced to Dreamscape's systems by a left-wing human rights organisation (with terrorist tendancies) that wish to sabotage Dreamscapes projects due to the nature of the Somnium system.
Will update further with hopefully the final progress.
Signing off....
