Rolling with the Punches
"Rolling with the Punches" transforms the player into a tire of a recently crashed vehicle. They travel around a city, hearing the reaction to the crash. Some comedically mention the tire around them. I used the article about a delivery truck killing a woman crossing the street in the south loop. It raises the issue of explaining the inequality between drivers and cyclists regarding the road. In short, cars move around and park inside bike lanes or bike-designated areas. Cyclists have to deal with maneuvering between these cars and sometimes risk their lives by biking in the streets because there is no alternative way to reach their destination.
I want to evaluate the issue through bitsy to have audiences unfamiliar with the subject learn about the cycling setbacks within the city. It will also educate them on respecting the surrounding environment and the neighbors that share it. Some features I have so far are dialog options to have people express their reaction to the situation and imply what the event happened. The player can dig deeper into the non-player character's thoughts by asking around the area to trigger special interactions. For example, I have one character say more dialogue as a conditional statement after speaking to someone else. I aim to manipulate this variable to evoke a character's full emotion that, at some times, hints at a bigger picture within the narrative.
