For this project, I chose to immerse the reader in a typical dorm room setting at Georgia Tech, particularly Woodruff North Suites. The background story is that the player is starving and spots a Hamburger Helper box on his desk. The goal of the game is to find all of the ingredients and utensils required to make Hamburger Helper and add them to the player's inventory. A successful game finishes in the kitchen after you acquire the cooking pan. However, there are a few parts of the game where you can lose and/or die from certain actions. My larger idea was to have the main character carry out involved conversations with other roommates or friends to gain hints as to where to find the next item. However, I was unable to correctly figure out the method for such involved interactive conversation. I would have also liked to include small sub goals to the game, such as capturing that mouse in the bathroom with an empty and let it free in the courtyard.
This covers the proper way to complete this game. Ways to lose include adding the magazine on the desk to inventory and taking the mouse in the bathroom.
