For my web adventure project, I decided to create a small multi-choice game based on a recent popular trend from TikTok. The trend, known as “Dabloons”, began with a Tiktok of an image of a cat holding up four “toe beans” (toes) captioned “4 Dabloons”. Every time people saw the image on their For You Page, they collected these Dabloons as currency. Soon after, people expanded on the trend by changing the amount of Dabloons offered per scenario encountered, and created their own Dabloon shops and characters, resulting in a huge community similar to a DND campaign. With this inspiration in mind, I developed three characters for players to choose from; a Mage, a Baker, and an adventurer. The goal? Becoming a Dabloon-millionaire! Based on choices made in the game, the player could lose all their Dabloons or accomplish becoming a millionaire. Players must determine who they can trust to keep their business afloat. In the world of “Dabloonia”, the economic crisis has been steadily rising, and by becoming a Dabloon-millionaire, Horchata the Baker could continuously fund and expand her bakery, supporting her mother and siblings. Valente the Adventurer could restore stolen treasures from their home village. Last but not least, Lucius could prove himself as a powerful mage in magic university, further broadening the field of lunar magic under the guidance of demi-god, Lady Luna. Although simplified in choice currently, I believe that the connection between recent trends and the cute cat-themed style would encourage others to develop their own scenarios and have fun designing characters like these.

For this project, I am trying to make a type of abstract sound that reminds me a lot of a niche type of horror I've been interested in these last few months! I'll be experimenting with a lot of effects that create distortions similar to corrupted files and give off a vibe of generation loss. This type of horror has been around for a bit but it's only gotten more popular recently, it's called Analog Horror. As the title suggests, it's a type of abstract horror that usually relies on replicating the vibe of Analog technology (such as records ,cassette tapes, VCR's, touch tone telephones, etc.)and how unsettling and distorted things can become via it's natural corruption over time. It often deals with themes of the uncanny in imagery as well to convey that things have gone wrong but it cant be instantly placed as to what. My favorite part about this genre is how None of the visuals have to be over the top or extremely detailed to be unsettling because the degradation of the footage and especially the audio's role in setting the tone, is enough to make it creepy, so visual jump scares aren't really needed. With this in mind I'm hoping to create an auditory experience which is not meant be traditionally enjoyed but rather it want to be uncomfortable and for it to be clear that there is something wrong. The specific works I'm taking inspiration from are The Mandela Catalogue, The Walten files, Battington FNAF VHS tapes, and The SMILE tapes.
