http://winchester.games/2019/aquasition.html

In this last semester at Uni I have been working alone on a game project I have called Aquasition. The game was inspired by my interest in Eastern philosophy, and particularly meditation. The idea of the game is to encourage a less selfish perspective on material possessions and prestige. This idea came from the common belief among eastern thinkers that limiting our attachment to material things and the ego is a path towards greater happiness and a more peaceful state of being. I came across a metaphor from Thich Nhat Hanh that describes us as thinking we are all individual and insignificant waves, when instead we should think of ourselves as the ocean itself, all one and the same – not separate. I thought this could make for a great visual metaphor and I wanted to explore this in my game so I set the game underwater and designed mechanics that would encourage detachment from material things in the game. This runs counter to most games in that they usually encourage players to accumulate items, wealth and power, so I thought it would be interesting to explore what happens when I play with the player’s expectations of how a game usually works.

Solve incredibly high-stakes environmental puzzles using awesome abilities you obtain from a powerful set of dice in Altered Conduct, a challenging strategy game with numerous solutions. Through unprecedented technological innovation, humanity has now developed the Alteration Implants, allowing genetically compatible individuals to wield one fantastic ability such as Telekinesis, Teleportation, Control Over Time and more. You play as Zeta, a talented and clever compulsive gambler, who has managed to crack the mystery of using multiple powers at will. Zeta is genetically Telekinetic, but through her ingenuity she has successfully mastered the use of Teleportation, Flux Energy, and Morph, all exceptionally powerful and varied in nature. By infusing these additional abilities in a set of three dice and using her own Implant as a conduit, Zeta can gain access to an unprecedented range of powers. The intricate mechanics challenge the player to incorporate elements of chance into their gameplay and to think of creative ways to solve problems regardless of where the dice land.
