Combining: FolkLORE + MAGIC
After considering each theme and researching it. I decided to combine two topics (Folklore and magic). I created another mind map using the lotus blossom technique from week 1 of magic and folklore. To give myself a starting point.
But why combine these two topics?
- The majority of folklore stories have supernatural events occurring or a creature having supernatural abilities.
- They both use rules, rituals, and consequences, and have evolved, with many interpretations.
What will I focus on now?
- I’ll still largely focus on folktale stories. I specifically am leaning towards fairytales, since I like the whimsical, dreamlike illusion they give.
- Folklore stories are frequently inconsistent and evolve throughout the years, so I’ve decided that maybe having ambiguity within the game would reflect this. However, I would have to think of ideas for how I would show this in-game.
