Project 5: Final

My project is this site: HERE

Before delving really deep into it, there is some information that you need to know. The world this site takes place in is earth in the year 2028. Recently a massive cataclysm has destroyed a the vast majority of humanity and the towns and cities of the world. An agency, known as the UEC (United Earth Council) has risen up connect the survivors in the world. Part of the UEC is the UEA (United Earth Army) which is used to protect the cities and areas that have joined the UEC.

Anyways, for my project I created a website that was made by a guy who is compiling strange stories. This includes a mysterious group of five people who are sited in different towns before, during, or after these strange events.

The different stories are actually plot points in an RPG (Role-Playing Game; aka D&D) that I play with my friends. Because of this, I also found it fitting for my friends to write the letters and emails or draw the pictures used in the sire.

I found it interesting to actually look at the events through a different lens. Normally, our characters just travel from place to place and do what's needed. This makes us think about the people who see our characters. This is especially important, because the characters tend to use magic. Most people in the game don't know that magic exists so this makes them stand out. Also, their overall appearance is memorable. Of course some of the events that the characters were a part of happened without any witnesses or people who will divulge the information of their existence, so the person running the site mentions the events, but not that the characters were involved.

What I find really interesting about this project is that I am creating a false reality based off a false reality that's partially based off reality (pretty much the fact that it takes place on earth).

The hardest part about this project was making the website. I just kept running into problems while making and loading everything. Even after I finally got all the files uploaded things still didn't work right. Some of the pictures are missing and the visual design is missing.

Finally, I enjoyed the fact that I could reuse my video from Project 2, because the person the movie was about is one of the NPC (Non-Player Characters) of the game.
