OVERVIEW

• Evolved from our previous game ideas through an iterative design process
• Originally envisioned as a single-player game, but after talking to firefighters and doing research, we discovered this conflicted with the "golden rule" of "2 in 2 out"
• First-person, networked, multiplayer collaborative game
• It is most useful for firefighters to train with the people they work with
• Didn't want to talk down or teach them what they already know
• Has to be a game where there is no best solution, where gameplay is organic
• Evolves from easy scenarios to more complicated and complex situations
• Emphasis on controlling a situation in flux with changing and evolving factors
