The player moves from frame to frame. A framecan have: narration, thought balloons, dialog balloons, active objects, and animation/view change- ability. Some frames are totally staic, some are like an interactive flight simulator. "Punting" It has been my experience that if you use a medium too aggressively, you create an impression of limited response, often the opposite impression you intend. Conversely, if you attempt effects which the medium is "overqualified" to acheive, you can create an impression of unlimited capability, responsiveness and resolution. I call this effect "punting." One interesting example of this effect being used well is at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, in the Walt Disney Story attraction. A film is shown of Walt's life, but it appears to be a photo album on the screen. For a few minutes we look at black and white still pictures in the album, and then some of the pictures begin to move and change colors, which for a moment seems astonishing because our expectations have been set so low. 11/15/94 A lot of time recruits in '46 were told that they were testing captured secret Nazi weapons. Octet is run by what look like ETs (really humans in the future, after genetic engineering) and their envoy to 20th century humans is a guy called "Joe from New York" (really Judge Joseph Force Crater). templates: 1 A Explorers - B (Watchers) 2 C Californios - D (Pirates) 3 E Yankees - F (Hermits) 4 G Civilizers - H (Faith Keepers) 5 I Drillers - z [Desperates] 6 J Hustlers (&) - K (Anarchists) 7 L Public Works - a (Rogues) 8 M Visionaries - N (Babylonians) 9 O Olympians - P (Scientists) 10 Q Radio Dolls - R (Corruption) 11 S Fallen Angels 12 T Mousketeers -- U (Knights of St. Mickey) -- G (Mercenaries) 13 V Beatlemania -- W (Dealers) 14 X Post-Moderns -- Y [New Agers] -- i (Maniacs) 15 Y Neo-Colonials 16 Z Apocalyptics -- W (Octet) ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
