Busride

Improv Game by

TONY WILLIAMS

The name of my game is Busride and i wanted to make a game where the player can find certain things out about their characters and the environment all through the feeling of progression with the bus. I got inspiration from real life where I rode the CTA in Chicago and wanted to incorporate the characters and people or action that sometimes happens on a bus. i feel that the excitement or storytelling can come from the fact that you can’t control what people can come on the bus or what actions can happen while riding the bus.
