In addition to my current project, I've also thrown together a sort of puzzle game that teaches people how to make movies.
The player - the director - is given a task - he must make a movie.
The "script\" will be given to him, each with notes of items, actors, and dialog that must be covered to be successful. He is also given a budget of takes, time, and items. Each new item is more money spent (time to hire an actor, time to move the camera and placement, etc).
The director places cameras specific places in order to frame the action. He blocks the action and covers all key points. He gets bonus points for framing.
I could see this as a Source Engine mod, believe it or not.
Thoughts?
Hmm. Sounds pretty cool. I'm reminded of the photo research feature in Bioshock.
Have you made any progress with this?
