I'm going to use this file to track outstanding features/overall project progress outside of actual ticket creation.
- title screen, click start
- Police Station cinematic plays
- Sophie walks into frame (HUD: her face is in the bottom left corner)
- she walks up to the desk where the cop is, HUD switches to COP's face, his dialogue starts
- HUD changes who's face it is based on who is talking, we need a script from the film team
- cut to main game screen.
- Sophie can move WASD and jump, training graphic pops up to describe controls (press e to interact, wasd to move etc)
- Maya is on the left side of the screen, making some sort of crying sound (needs to be inviting though not too spooky so you want to run away), the HUD icon is a crying Maya
- collider so sophie can only walk towards Maya, a box or something so that the jump functionality is actually being used lol
- crying sound gets louder as you walk towards maya, prompted to press e to interact
- there should be paralax technically as you walk towards maya...
- Meeting maya (after you press e)
- maya talks (need script from film team)
- once she's done yapping, the whole map opens... BUT the puzzle events are locked
note -> I think the open world stuff is cool, but if we want to finish this game we need to make it linear. I propose making the whole map NOT actually open, and the game will force you to talk to people in the right order, complete puzzles in the right order, dialogue will be the same, scenes will load in order.
- hit space to skip dialogue
- sophie walks into frame for police station cinematic
- character idle (need stuff from design team for that, not a high priority)
- explain controls screen (need graphic from design)
- HUD ->
will need assets from design team, the face changes based on who is talking, default to sophie - prompting press e to enter for interactions
- 2 customers @ diner who you can press e to talk to
Popup:
- Glass on the left
- Puzzle on the right
- Empty glass slides on the left before puzzle completion
- Full glass on puzzle completion
- Full glass slides to the right after completion and REPEAT

- Exploring the map
- Arcade
- In the next screen there is an arcade
- Player walks up but it is locked
- The manager is standing outside of the building
- Press E to talk to them
- They say that the power is out so the machines don’t work, but if you want to go in you can
- The front side of the arcade disappears
- Once the front disappears the music starts playing that is the clue to the puzzle
- Arcade machines have black screens and aren’t working
- Player can walk up to the power box and interact with it
- Press E and a pop up appears with the broken arcade machine and 8 switches and a musical scale
- When a switch is clicked with the mouse one of the 8 musical notes plays its sound
- Each switch corresponds to a note
- Once a correct note is pressed the arcade machine “fixes” itself slightly (like the ship in space dogger)
- If a player selects the incorrect switch then the machine will go back to its original broken image
- If all the switches are pressed in the right order the arcade will be fully fixed and all of the machines will light up
- The music will continue playing as the machines light up
- Memory 2 will fade in
