# Meeting Transcript 23.05.2022

General discussion on how to handle story on the platform.

- present: Gilian, Jonathan, Levi, Martin, Leon H
- absent excused: -
- absent unexcused: -

## What?

- protagonist lives in a 'dumb' world where he is the only one trying to learn
- everyone else (NPCs, maybe apart from the `police`) are stupid
- Tutorial?
- Leveling System = IQ (intelligence)?
- Bossfights?
- Ending?
  - `IQ reset` button?
  - pass on Gameboy to another person (-> next protagonist)?
- story could be completely decoupled from the minigames

## How?

- player collects minigames in the overworld and plays them on his `GameBoy` (or something similar)
- NPCs could give hints about minigame locations unknowingly
- further hints in the overworld
- minigames should also have a popup to explain how to play them
- Humor (=Stupidity) will play a huge part?
- Action by persecution from NPCs (robots?) GTA-like?
- `Increased IQ changes perspective on the world`
  - reason why the art style changes with each level -> we can freely use asset packs
  - problem: art style 'degrades' again when visiting a previous level
