Forking

Pathways

Forking pathways is when there are a number of options for the audience to choose from. From these choices being made the story splits in to different outlines that then lead to different outcomes. This is most commonly visible in games where the player is given a choice that will affect the ending they are given.

Your choices affect he way the game is played out.

league of legends
In the case of league of legends u have a map that consists of three different lanes to chose from, people from all over Europe broken are down and set in teams of 5 v 5 pvp net play. The players chose the champions to play, all champions are different and can only be summoned once and any point in time in a team.

>the map of league of legends showing all lanes and paths that are open to all of the party

> this is a image i have edited to highlight certain areas in the game

>red jungle one person is to go from each team
>blue is top one person from each team again
>green is bot and two people are to go bot
>purple is home for each team

this are the rules set out and followed but most players on this game they chose lanes and champions to match each other

Evaluation
Within these three images I created a scheme that held a question for a viewer to answer, these forking paths where meant to make the audience think. Think about a subject that has been swept under the carpet and became a norm of society. I as a designer have a voice and chose to use my skills to create this simple prototype for forking pathways.

The first image is as shown
A type of solider standing tall with the flag of the United States of America behind him.
The flag is distorted and has type intergraded behind it
(type reading as people die, do it, bring that flag home,

killing another human)
the type behind is to sum up in my opinion what the topic at hand in a few sentences. Befitting I thought .
last of all there is a choice
a simple yes no question to test there believes against mine

if answered yes
they are faced with an image with the same imbedded text in the shape of a cross and a skull to symbolise death
with typography reading as pain and suffering await.

If answered no
They are faced with what I believe to be a visual representation of hope
As in there is hope in humanity, hope in we can change the y way we have come to live.
Tunnel= the say is there is always light at the end of a tunnel I believe this visualise hope well , no matter how dark there will come a point where there is light

I believe from this simple but affective form of delivering a messages this allows for the audience to interact better with the message being conveyed.
