Interactive Storytelling Experience

The concept behind the interactive storytelling experience that players will go through while entering the Magellan theme park is that players are forced to break their comfort zone and interact with the world the theme park is in. By having to interact with the environment, players will have a firm grasp of the world that they are in by the completion of this story. This concept is an initial story the players will go though and experience with the opportunity for additional side stories with all the characters in the future.

The collaboration needed between players are essential a successful, immersive player experience. This is seen through many of the choices players must make throughout the story. An example of this is when the players meet the chef and in order for players to receive the next level of security clearance they must collaborate and create a dish to impress the chef. If they do not, they players are unaware of what their future holds. This is also seen when players are given the task of looking for a screw for Autobot 1724. They are told by Autobot 1724 to look for his missing screw and he will grant them an additional level of clearance when found. Players are told they can only go right or left to look as a group, so they must all voice their opinions and collaborate together and come up with a decision. The last and maybe the most important decision the players must make is at the final stage when they meet the captain. The captain requests for a cup of coffee and in return he will grant them max level security clearance and they will be able to travel the ship as they please. He tells the players that the shop is either on the right or left as he is unsure. At this time, the players are very anxious to finish his tedious task that they must decide which way to go. Little do the players know that either what they go there is a coffee shop and it is a win-win situation.

 

This interactive storytelling experience benefits the players in two way. It encourages them to collaborate with each other and begin the immersion process of the theme park. It also requires interactivity with characters in the them park. Interacting with the characters and getting to know their stories will turn the theme park into an intergalactic galaxy for the players inside it.
