As I was saying in my last email, we're now entering a phase where we'll try out different approaches with missions, to try to figure out what works best. We take a bottom-up approach: trying to progressively figure out the larger concept, based on what works and what doesn't work when we do missions. > Who is Gaia? > Is this a environmental vigilente group? Yup! That's the organization that would contact you and ask you to work for them - at least in some of the missions. > Where or how do we discuss the actual content of the story elements? Currently the best way to do that is to propose some ideas of missions, and include some content or story elements in there. It's really open right now, I don't think we need to care too much about consistency between the different missions we'll implement - we are looking for the right formula, so each mission can be seen as a small game prototype in its own right for now. So, if you have some ideas, either for the actual content or the story elements, the best is to try to imagine how to present them as sample (and small) missions, and write them down on the Missions Ideas page. Let me know if that's good for you!
