Simulation Interface

The product interface is seen to break down into the following three components:

Win form and/or equivalent (e.g. WPF) game editor for customisable content creation.
Player for game related interaction/simulation and machinema.
Shell that contains Player and facilitates modification of related properties.

Each of these elements can be initially outlined as follows. These definitions will evolve as the project progress and further information is collated in respect to product definition and requirement.

Game and/or Simulation Editor

The engine/system should facilitate the creation, management and playback of game play, presented within a contemporary, graphically and aurally rich, 3D gaming environment.

Capability should be provided to facilitate interactive elements and conversation be combined by a non-technical author to create a range of realistic and engaging interaction driven scenarios that can be played back within a real time game-play driven context.

Game and/or Simulation Player

The game player is responsible for the playback of content authored by the game editor and/or builder. The game player aspects of the software will also be responsible for handling artefacts such as environment rendering and animation and audio playback. The player will also be responsible for the handling of user interface with the developed simulations.

Game and/or Simulation Framework

The game/simulation framework is responsible for handling user options and the system set-up related artefacts of the software.

The framework will also handle factors such as the affordance of multilingual capabilities and the saving and loading of user data.

Functionality related notes

This would gift provision for language translation and evaluation/development of content in real time.
Investigation needs to be undertaken to evaluate the potential for expandable content libraries and/or capability for 3D content hosted externally to packaged content pipeline.
Development is to be conducted to facilitate usage on Windows OS hardware that reflects the overarching product technical requirement.

Menu and Screen Descriptions

The following outlines an initial breakdown of all screens to be developed such as: Introduction, Instructions Options and Game-Over etc. A full breakdown of all screen elements will also be provided for each defined screen in the form of a Screen Bible.

Screen Name	Screen Function	Screen Links
Introduction	Play Options Exit
Options	Display Input Audio Language
Play	New game Load Continue	Scenario
Display Options	Full screen or windowed playback Resolution Quality – low, medium, high	Options
Input Options	Interface configuration	Options
Audio Options	Music on/off Effects on/off Interface on/off	Options
Game Over	Feedback Replay	Introduction Scenario
High Score	Presentation of high-scores if applicable
Pause	Temporary halt of scenario playback Provision of access to additional shell functionality and/or screens	Scenario Introduction Save Instructions
Instructions	Presentation of media to inform the player how to operate the simulation	Pause and/or Introduction
Scenario	Presentation of 3D simulation	Pause Game Over

Game/Simulation World

The game world will consist of three main environments in which interaction will take place. Each environment developed will also be able to facilitate multiplayer related interaction in the form of capability for two participants being able to enter the environment at the same time.

The environments can be outlined as follows:

A Generic Job Centre
A Generic Office and/or Meeting Room
(More information from partners in ref to context needed) – Scenario 4

The environments will be designed to be generic to facilitate multicultural application. Provision may be gifted for multilingual artefacts such as signs, however this should be avoided where possible and universal iconic representations utilised instead.

Each environment should be enhanced via the inclusion of ambient sounds and where relevant an accompanying audio track. In this context audio can be used to emphasise emotion and/or identify activity and points of interest.

Items

Described here are any items and item based mechanisms that a player might collect and/or interact with during gameplay. Information should also detail how such an object might affect scenario and gameplay outcomes and paths for progression. […]
