John - Week 8

This week, we made a lot of progress working out the kinks in our story. However, that created some complications with our world design, which is forcing us to rework things to some degree. I wonder how common this phenomenon is when using the approach we took in this class. When you create all these rich characters and a rich world, it seems inevitable to me that there will be problems trying to reconcile them all with each other. This problem is only exacerbated when you’re dealing with eight designers, each with their own ideas about character, world and story. How have other groups approached this problem?
