Interactive Narrative.
Big Nick's Big Day Off is a piece of interactive narrative that was completed for the BA Degree Show of Interactive Media @ The Arts Institute at Bournemouth.
I wanted to create a completely free-roaming piece of interactive narrative, but through user testing, I quickly discovered that this would limit the project due to the immense amount of filming and editing required to accommodate for so many different situations within the narrative.
The user plays as Big Nick, and sees through his eyes. It's a bank holiday Monday, and its up to the user to get him out of bed, and ready for the situations presented to him throughout his day.
The final piece is essentially three different scenarios that the user must go through in order, there is no freedom to choose this order, but there is choice within each scenario.
Big Nick's Big Day off was Exhibited @ New Designers 2006.
