A draft of the video game demo portion of my thesis project.

The Premise:

In the near future, a tech company interested in the future of communication has figured out how to implement chips in octopus to listen to and interpret their thoughts. Through this demo game, you experience an example of what thoughts they heard from the octopus as it returned to the tank for the first time since it arrived at the facility and received its chip.

The game is a download from the website of this fictional company.

The caption reads:

At Octopod Inc., we are fascinated with the way the Octopus thinks and how they understand the world. Through our research, we have been able to translate Octopus thought into words we as humans can understand. Below is a button to download our demo game that shows how one of our Octopus explored his tank.

The game itself is not currently actually available for downloading. Ideally I will have it packaged for people to download and play before they come see the performance aspect of my project (referenced on the webpage). More to come about that soon.

Stills from the game:
