?Heeee-llo!? His voice is swallowed by the roar of the surf.?With one hand he holds on to the sail mast, the other holds the rudder of the raft.?
There is movement on the beach.?Between the debris and driftwood, the shape of a woman appears.?Excited, she runs to him waving.?His raft is crunching on sand.??Are you okay?? he asks when she reaches him.?She smiles.??Yes.?I swallowed a lot of water, but luckily nothing serious?? She grabs his hand, ?and now, you?re here.??He nods kindly.? Relief is clearly written on her face.?How good it feels to finally have company.
?
As previously described, Lagoonia is a game in which there are multiple characters.?These characters join together to form a family unit, and several families then form a small island society.?Everyone knows in reality such things do not always work smoothly, that there can be contention and disagreement, but also happiness and harmony that lead to long lasting friendships.
This system of complicated social relationships is integrated into Lagoonia.?The challenge was to transfer that sense of realism into the game.?The processes have to be repeatable within the game as simply as possible ? and they have to have a game-related impact.
First, it was determined that there should be friendships and love relationships between the islanders.?The question of how to simulate this came with a variety of interactive options.?Two focuses of the game actions are ?talking? and ?flirting?.
In order to make the interactions more realistic, these actions are not always successful. Chatting to other islanders can improve mood, and strengthen friendships, however if the discussions result in a disagreement the reverse may then occur. Likewise, when it comes to flirting ? just as in real life, it will not always be successful! Through a little perseverance the islanders fall in love and go on to become a couple.
So what is the game-related consequence of friendship and love relationships? Friends will work together to tackle complicated buildings, (e.g. a lighthouse or a houseboat), whilst islanders not in a social relationship will refuse to work together on a shared project. Love relationships allow islanders to bring babies onto the island and so continue the society?s growth.
