Interface Design

K, following on from my last comment here: http://curiousmalady.blogspot.com/2010/01/adventure.html#comments I thought I'd start the ball rolling on what each of our thoughts are about how we'd like the interface to look. The GA / Choose your own Adventure/ Point and Click style game makes me think about the cool Ian Livingstone & Steve Jackson books and Knightmare books I used to read as a kid.

Here's what I said in my earlier comment about interface ideas:

* A Book as a nod to the CYOA Books
* Old Victorian Photo Album
* Eudora's Diary (think of Brian Froud's pressed Faery book - not girly at all - see here:



* Notebook - a medical notebook (maybe including some ramblings from Eudora's nurse) I think I'm thinking of the cool book that came with the American McGee's Alice game...yeah, that must've been what's made me think of that. Have a look at the casebook and see if it inspires you.

* A mixture of all the ideas above?

An interface that looks Victorian is a must. Anyway, I'll keep letting the ideas tick over in my head. What do you all think?
