Josh plays the role of Neoptolemus, who has some kind of master\/pupil or father\/son relationship with the teacher and seems capable of doing anything to have his favour. Becca plays the role of Polyxena, who is unaware of this plot and is focused on deliver the original lines from the script. The sacrifice in the game is therefore symbolical in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82180\" width=\"424\" height=\"88\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-2.png 840w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-2-300x63.png 300w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-2-768x161.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we show one of the earliest proof-of-concept, together with some commercial titles that have been an inspiration for this exercise including The Bunker(Wales Interactive, 2016), Lare Shift (Ctrl Movie, 2016) and Super Seducer (RLR Training Inc, 2018).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82181\" width=\"542\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-3.png 834w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-3-300x116.png 300w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-3-768x297.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9Wales Interactive, 2016 \u00a9Ctrl Movie, 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82182\" width=\"526\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-4.png 769w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-4-300x147.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><figcaption>Training Inc, 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DOCUMENTATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Budget Video Services (August, 2018)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Budget Provisional Interactive Film (ACE Application, August, 2018)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>ANIMATICS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employing Motion Capture technologies a number of scenes have been rendered in order to manage a better coordination among the members of the team (Playlist).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Animatica Test Hecuba\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MvPPH8J3JXA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>LEVEL ARCHITECTURE [Example]<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interactive storytelling requires the use of variables to determine the navigation between states in order to unfold the narrative<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"697\" height=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-1.png 697w, https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/fictionalities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/209\/2021\/08\/image-1-300x210.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hecuba, An Interactive Drama Experience SINOPSIS Josh and Becca are two university students and drama actors performing the opening night of a retelling of the Classical Greek play Hecuba.
