yay

we made a blog poooooooooooooooooop

So we are going to play the game Animal Crossing. We each are going to play for 2.5 hours a day (whenever we can during the day). We each are going to have our own city, and we will visit each other's city whenever we get a chance. Other rules: no time travel at all, ever. Ever. No. None for Ryan. No changing towns, or maybe some other things.

Things to observe:
How commerce and nature relate
Preservation in the game
Visual language of the game
Real-time aspect of the game (seasons, weather, day/night, etc.)
Writing letters/interacting with the AI
Morality (stealing, results of running errands, so on)
Immersiveness of the game

Naturally these observations will lead to other ideas.

We will be playing until the 28th, on which date we will write our final thesis and draw connections between our observations. Can't wait, keep watching.
