1. Video documentation of the interaction.

2. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland. But I wanted to things to go in upward direction. It would represent dreaming – once you get into bed and fall asleep, objects will start floating, and you could step on them. They will start changing shapes and sizes as you interact with them. My goal was to have it appear as dreamlike, but it doesn’t seem to give off that atmosphere yet. I think right now it’s just fun.

3. Image of the blueprint script. The top three trigger boxes (ones in red) are for enlarging the subsequent platform when you jump on a platform. The bottom three are for reverting the platform back to its original size once you jump off of it.

4. Challenges: I wish there was a simpler way to assign the same blueprint commands to multiple objects (using for loop or something?) And I also want to have the objects change slowly. But I think it has a potential for being ‘mysterious’. For example, you wouldn’t know to go up to the bed if you didn’t know that’s what triggers the next platform to get bigger. Maybe it could be turned into an adventure-escape room, etc..
