Creatures With Emotion - A Community Project https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=35181.msg443373#msg443373
« on: December 29, 2011, 09:21:44 pm »
This idea was brought up by a friend of mine, whom is not as active in the community (Rockykid19).
This is a community project, which means the final project will be finished when the people of the community have agreed to a certain extent with one another.

Understandably, people believe creatures do not have emotion, but I think that it is more that they do not have feeling. If there were to be some form of the following idea set in place, the game would turn in a new direction.

The names for each of these cards are based off of Plutchik's Wheel (below):



Plutchik believed that the eight primary emotions were as follows:
  • Joy
  • Trust
  • Fear
  • Surprise
  • Sadness
  • Disgust
  • Anger
  • Anticipation

Dictionary definitions of each:

Joy: the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation

Trust: reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence

Fear: a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid

Surprise: to strike or occur to with a sudden feeling of wonder or astonishment, as through unexpectedness

Sadness: affected by unhappiness or grief; sorrowful or mournful

Disgust: to cause loathing or nausea in

Anger: a strong feeling of displeasure and belligerence aroused by a wrong; wrath; ire

Anticipation: the act of anticipating  or the state of being anticipated


Below are tables for the cards. Over time these tables will be modified to appreciate the community's suggestions.

Apologies for my lack of knowledge of pro coding, but I would like for people to use the code provided to create the tables for the card opinions/idea. (If anyone is willing to provide code for a better looking table, that would be very helpful. Higher quality of the readability of this topic will be helpful in the future.)

When filling out table use the blank areas.

Side notes are extremely helpful. In this area, please give your reasoning for why you filled out each of the area in the table.

Shameless bump? I think not!

Actually... maybe it is.

Anyways, I finished this card awhile ago and it is now in the crucible.

Check it out: Fear | Fear (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,35259)

I bet you can guess which emotion this is!

This is actually a pretty interesting read, and it's quite fun to think about it. The explanation is very neat. I like it. ^^

Looks large but interesting. The idea of 'personifying' creatures reminds me of the Archetype Series (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,16966.0.html), although the concepts are different (storytelling a journey (Archetypes) vs. individual emotion (Creatures w/Emotion)). Keep it up, I'd love to see where this goes. :)
