This is gonna take a lot of time to figure out. I need to build the architecture for this thing, and use all the variables to reveal what is available to players at given times. This also means that I'll need to make sure new community chats don't trigger until AFTER a performance. Hmm, the simplest way to do that is not to check all the variables, but to check the performance KNOT NAME plus the vocals stem for the stance.

Trigger responses based on mood variables. Honestly, for Level 0 I don't think either guitarist nor keys needs to do say anything extra at the end of the show. But as the mood variables and relationship variables build, they will!

If the song lyrics were in Whaleish, they gained fans from the Naturals community and the Water-Dwellers!
|

For Level 0, band member (probably Fern) explains how they know this - they were invited to the Naturals and the Water-Dweller communities on Harmony!

Choosing an identity for your band will help define your message, determine your audience, and set your goals. It's a big deal.
|
||||
|
||||
A *Band of the People* will energize a broad audience with songs that they want to hear. Positive energy can inspire positive change.
|
||||
|
||||
A *Band of Rebels* will challenge a receptive audience and call them to action. Music is a tool to change the world, but you can't always dance to it.
|
||||
|
||||
Well, what kind of band are you going to be?

//MK: I put this before the letter. It was clunky the other way. //HJ: Works for me!
|

//HJ: Another dumb technical note, so sorry. In a single-player game like Cauldron, we can put choices in square brackets that won't be said aloud to other characters, and that's that. BUT since Bandocracy is multiplayer, when players are together in a group scene, we need to put their name in front of the choice so that the engine knows which character to give control of that choice to. Basically, when they're voting or in splitscreen, choices don't need to have their names in front because they already have control of their private space, but when players are together, we have to tell the engine whose choice it is. So I added "BASSIST" to Bassist's choices below.

//MK: Leaving this note here in case I forget it, but it may end up being irrelevant as I read this through. Since this is a few days later, I guess we can decide - if we want to - what the band has shared with each other by this point. Or, since the players have made reaction choices in the POST_PERFORMANCE scene, we can use conditional dialogue here to describe what's happened. For example, if Guitar chose to be selfish, someone chides them about it. Keys can mention their Whaleish duolingo, or something like that.

HJ: I renamed all the stem choices to make it clear that they are simple visual buttons, not text choices. Also, I've learned that in the UX code, Keana names the buttons whatever we put between these square brackets, so short and sweet and consistent across songs & levels is best!
|
||||
|
||||
HJ: Now that you know the buttons won't have bespoke text lines on them, a few of the character thoughts need to be revised to respond to the SOUND of the music stem, rather than the stem's description (which players can't see). So, Keyboardist's responses are perfect: "This is a sound for a brighter world!" or "This one is sneaky." <- Okay, maybe I'd revise that to "This sounds sneaky." But Singer's first thought, "I can't help the Unvoiced with this." doesn't really make sense as a first response. Nor does Guitarist's "Maybe something downbeat?" <- That one's an easy fix; you could simply add, "Too wistful." to the beginning of that line. So, go through and revise the character's reactions to their musical parts. And remember, we can't predict what order players will press the buttons in, or how often. In other words, there's no guarantee they'll press A first, so B shouldn't call out how B sounds in comparison to A, or vice versa. /MK: got it. I was also trying to make some of the thoughts sound like they were just coming to the characters. If they sound like they're listening to something they've already done, the way the player is, as opposed to composing it based on how they want it to sound, it doesn't make sense. Hopefully, these changes work.

I put a couple ideas in the choice block below... //MK: I agree. I just didn't do that because you said not to give choices like this because other players would be waiting on them. //HJ: Yeah, but now we're gonna try it since it seems like a useful mechanic.

Here is where players choose what event to perform at.
|
||||
|
||||
This replaces the SONG_TOPICS scenes. Instead of talking through this as a band, a single player can read the info here and make the choice for the whole band, no discussion needed.
|
||||
|
||||
This will be UX, but I'll need to write the words like we did in LongStory.
|
||||
|
||||
Gonna need some variables here to check what shows up, and which are offered as choices.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, let's just use a choice to go to Level 0 and start Whale Song.
|
||||
