Vladimir Propp applying theory to existing game – Super Mario Bros.

Propp was a Bulgarian theorist. In his 1922 work The Morphology of the Folk Tale he analysed something like 400 Russian folk tales. He found that across all of these tales, despite apparent differences, characters and their actions can be categorized into clearly defined roles and functions (8 character roles and 31 narrative functions) which are summarized here:

The hero: seeks something, to fulfill a ‘lack’ of some kind

The villain: opposed the hero, tries to make the hero fail

The donor: aids the hero by providing an object with magical properties

The dispatcher: sends the hero on a quest of some kind

The false hero: pretends to be the hero

The helper: assists the hero in some way

The princess: doubles up as a reward for the hero and the object of the

Her father: will reward the hero (often by giving the hero his daughter)

10 Page Document Feedback

I preesented my 10 page document to a group of my peers and reciebed back. I had very positive fedback where my peers said that the story work well and is easy to understand. What they also found to be unique was the idea that I was a story froma real ride. 

Game Ideas

Hollywood Tower Hotel is based on a ride at a theme park. The game will will feature a group of friends which the player has the choice to play where they decide to go on the ride, The ride is based on a hotel in Hollywood in the 1930s during a heavy storm where passengers take the lift in the hotel when a bolt of lightning hits the hotel causing them to go into another dimensional world.

When the couple get on the ride, little do they know the ride has turned into the story where they are then dropped into a rundown hotel in hollywood in the 1930s. Its is up to the player to find a way back to their world by exploring the other dimension and finding clues to the way out. The player must make choices which could lead to worse consequences or a way out to complete the game.  

I have researched various influeces to gather any ideas, I have looked at various horror film that feature in a hotel such as The Shining and 1408.

• Group of friends start at borttotom of htoel
• have to find various oeices to make up antenna to get himem 
• have to explore differnet rooms fir patrts
