Scene Generator

Scene Generator:

Random actors and activities, with my compliments.

The scene generator creates random components (contexts, people, and design) and activities. It has a wide range of uses. Educators can use it to randomly generate content for a project or assignment. Practicing designers can use the scene generator as a brainstorming tool to help them consider a wide range of aspects that can affect what should be designed. Anyone can use it as a party game.

Have fun designing for rich experiences!

A Setting

Playing classic 8-bit video games like Frogger or Galaga.

Las Vegas

Pay before you play

Game machines are packed tightly into the arcade.

Kids, Pac Man Wizards, Joysticks, Air Hockey players,

Electricity. Quarters. Air conditioning.

Hot outside and when the door opens, it blasts players with waves of heat.

The arcade room is dark. Many twinkling game sounds.

Till you run out of quarters.

The arcade is divided by game types (Skee-Ball, shooters, classic games). Some players are social.

The din of arcade sounds drowns out conversation

Quarter on the game = I got next

The economy is good, there's peace in the world, politics are stable.
