Enchanted Forest Pitch

For our park project I decided to put a magical and fun spin on an attraction I remember fondly from being a kid: candy fishing. Except instead of fishing for candy, you have to entertain hidden fairies and then they will give you a gift they keep from inside their pond. The basic construction would be out of wood stands, and there are a number of options you could give out as prizes.
For more specific details I have a google doc outline here. The website I used for the example papercafts is folduptoys.com.

Hypertext Assesment

The game I played was Horse Master by Tom McHenry. It seemed like the sort of humor I would be into and I was correct. Darkly funny capitalist apocalypse with creatures that could barely be called horses. I loved my horse dearly. I had to resize the window at one point because some of the options weren't viewable but it is a long game so I can't repeat to tell if it had any real impact. Alas, I lost in the final round.
The world of the game at a quick glance may make it seem like it is meant to make you uncomfortable and not connect as much as possible, but like all things they reflect our own reality. The seemingly endless droning of propaganda, the desire (and sometimes need) to prove your worth despite meager means, getting so far but then tripping up at the very end, horses are kind of freaky.
It is hard to decide how to adapt this work without having to lose a lot of what makes it special in the process (though in a way that can be true for any adaptation). The choices you make, as futile as they may seem (there is a an ending "better" than the one I got, and there are worse ones as well), are important in both their desperation and monotony, and the lack of clear visuals adds much to the atmosphere of the game (less is more?) I feel like the best way to approach this would be adapting it to a low-poly 3d game. Like Monster Rancher but if you corrupted the files to hell and back. But also that feels almost like a cop-out, changing from one form of game to another. But also in a more visual medium (even one of low fidelity) that does change much. You can actually see the horse and so you have to rely on the visuals for the feeling of uncanny as opposed to the words. Maybe do a total swap? As few words as possible to get what you need to do across, but everything else expressed through visual (or audio) means. It won't win any points of accessibility but it would certainly be an experience at the very least.

Mealsburg Map

 [SCAN MAP IN LATER]

On the coast of the Land of Ev a town has sprung up around what started out as a few trees of lunch and dinner pails, since cultivated into an orchard after the return of the royal family. The first building to spring up was the Wheely Speedy Mail & Post, founded by a Wheeler who has claimed to be completely reformed. Despite how often packages would be lost or mixed up in the mail, houses began to spring up between the edge of the orchard and the post office. In fact, if you ask any locals they will say that the orchard is the reason they settled down in this area in the first place, others will mention Sodapop Beach, a portion of the Nonestic Ocean so named after the number of glass bottles that wash up on the shore. If you are particularly lucky you may find a kind message inside such a bottle, and some locals will comb the beach for these bottles like one would look for seashells. However, that does not mean that the beach is without seashells, in fact locals say that one day a giant shell just washed up and overnight had turned into a quaint little bakery run by a grandmother (or at least she insists on people calling her grandma, and no one seems to know her actual name, if she even has one) who happens to also be a giant crab. Despite having claws her pies are simply divine, and some people even prefer them over the desserts that one could find in the meal pails. Further down the road, at the last turn before the road is no longer neat and paved and instead just becomes well worn and trampled ground, there is a small dairy farm run by a jolly man named Dorian. He has cows of all colors of the rainbow, with milks and cheeses to match. The dairy also doubles as a place to stop and rest for a night, as there are no proper hotels yet. Overall Mealsburg is an interesting little place to stop on one’s trip through the Land of Ev if one ever gets the chance, while there currently isn’t enough to satisfy a tourist for more than a day the town is still new and growing, and it's likely that this will be woefully out of date by the time it is properly published and spread around. However if anything that should be more of an incentive to check out this up-and-coming little community and the food that can be found there.
