Coordinating

Activity cooperative

Coordinating actions with other agents in time and space – interlocking timing, sequence and positioning so that the joint execution succeeds. A standalone activity when synchronization itself forms the core of the experience.

Design question – Your agents must coordinate their actions – what has to fit together, and how is successful synchronization rewarded?

Reference example – It Takes Two: each character can do something different – you only get further together. Spaceteam: everyone shouts commands that only someone else can carry out. Football: in a one-two both read the other’s run and rhythm so the ball arrives at the right moment.
