Theater Mode ๐ŸŽญ


When the player enters a loop theatre mode will begin ๐ŸŽญ

We have designed theatre mode to help deliver more narrative within the car loops. 
Each Loop will start off with a conversation within the group of friends - the player has the options of how they would like to respond to the conversation. The player cannot interact with objects while in theatre mode, they can only interact with the conversation.
Once Theatre mode is finished the puzzle for the player begins.



Design Notes on Theatre mode by our Lead Game Designer Chris Fagan 

- Black borders will animate onto the screen ( One black border from the top and one from the bottom )
- Players reticle turns into a dot 
- Player cannot interact with objects when in Theater mode
- Player can only respond to dialogue when prompted 
- If a player does not respond in a timely manner they will respond automatically 
- Theater mode should have 2 / 3 situations to reply to the conversation
- When theatre mode & conversation ends the borders will leave the screen by animating up or down.
- When theatre mode ends a pop up will appear at the top of the screen indicating the task or objective for the player.
- This is when the time of the loop starts
- If the player fails the loop they will be brought back to when the objective pop up appears and not to the start of the conversation
- When theatre mode ends the player can now interact with objects within the car and move around
- The UI Conversation box should be transparent with a hint of black and white bold font.
- The names of the characters should be colour coded. ( example above ) If Liv is wearing an orange top,her name should be wrote in orange font
