Your Mod
![Page 3: Intro to Game Modding - Lecture 6](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54946ccdb479596f4d8b4a91/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
There are many elements which make up a game world. Some common devices are characters/items, events, a timeline, some mythology, creatures, and significant locations.
As you build your mod, you’ll be crafting a world which has elements of it’s own. One method for integrating your mod with the original content is
to share devices. Think of your modas a hexagon (or octagon adding categories for magic and special)
where each side represents a world element. The more sides that match up, the better experience for the player.

Hero’s Journey
The Hero’s Journey (or Monomyth) is a storytelling structure used across all human societies. It was described by Joseph Campbell in 1949 as a common format for shaping the meaning of the human experience.

Go back and review your game concept documents. Select one concept, which you would like to continue developing into a functional mod. For this assignment you’ll need to outline the player’s goals and actions within your mod.
Use the HerosJourney-Template.docx to identify the activities which guide the player’s progression during the game. Provide as much information as possible in the document. I don’t expect each box to be completely filled, but you should have something for each step. When completed upload the document to Moodle using the following naming convention - (first initial last name_course number_assignment number) example - DWilliams_CISC105_6.xls
