Plan for BA8

As ambitious as my idea is I feel I am progressing in such a manner that my concept is evolving into something quite unique. For my final stretch at Nuca, I am in fact going to be tackling two projects simultaneously which I will amalgamate into my final product.

The main project will be my initial concept, "Infinite Strategy". This is a strategic board game that acts as a base for players to create their own narrative worlds and scenarios. The creative progression begins on a website were the player customizes and edits assets of the board game itself. The final design is then purchased, delivered and acted out in the form of a board game.
The board games mechanics and rules, which I developed and tested in the last project, are flexible yet universal. This is to allow for the social side of the game, in which players can pitt their narrative worlds against each other or play other created scenarios. To summarize, Infinite Strategy is basically a simple format or "platform" for the player to create their own games.

The second project lies within the previously said. It will be a an in depth example of what can be achieved creatively within the Infinite Strategy concept achieved by creating an elaborate narrative world. This will include characters, story, unique situation rules and any miscellaneous assets to flesh out a fully realized game of Infinite Strategy.
What will also make this interior project more valuable is by making it a collaboration with a potential player. This means that the created narrative world won't be directly effected by my knowledge of Infinite Strategies format.
This project will concentrate on the website stage of infinite strategy, referring and relating the development techniques to the how the website editors would work. I will also record its progression on a separate reflective journal blog.
