IF Revision

For our IF revision, I like to think that I'm finally getting the hang of this program as we anticipate learning a new one....this week. While I was making the changes, I was becoming more creative and adding additional objects and pathways, when I was supposed to be fixing mistakes. I was getting more into it, because I knew what my players had tried when experimenting with my game. As I watched my victims struggle through my game, I saw them attempt to navigate different directions I never created. I watched them interact with objects that I thought were completely irrelevant. Yet, in their minds, they don't know what they're doing. I found out that what I believed to be the obvious, isn't really obvious to others. No one thinks like....(that is almost a compliment) and that's okay. I have to work around what my players want to do and what they actually do.
In a way, by observing I was getting into their minds trying to make my game more enjoyable to those who are stuck in my imaginary world.
