Work Plan

Mauriel Tramis is a 61 year old french video game designer who has designed many different kinds of games and has accomplished many things throughout her career as a designer. What I will be trying to accomplish in my research is, making a very detailed note on the games that she has worked on as well as her awards and achievements. It is important to note that she has accomplished many things in her career and her current wikipedia page does no support that claim. Throughout her career she has been a video game director, producer, production manager, writier and creator as well. Many of her games were from the early to mid 90s, as many of us wouldn't quite remember what they are. She has many multiple childhood educaional and adventure games including, Abidou 1, 2 (1996) and The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble (1994). However her focus on video game creating came from er facination of creating manily Sci-Fi and mystery games. Some of these game include, Facination (1991) which is a point and click adventure style mystery game in Miami about airline captain Doralice May, who inquires to help a dying passenger and keep a sample of a new experimental drug that enhances sex appeal out of the hands of his assassin. This may seem like a very weird plot for a video games but its safe to say that Mauriel Tramis was not your typical video game designer. In 1993 she created "Lost In Time" which is another Mystery/Sci-Fi title that I believe she correlated with her own life. Lost in Time is a game about exploring a shipwreck in 1992, a French woman somehow finds herself on a galleon in the Caribbeans in 1840 and discovers that she must save her ancestor from a villain or she'll never be born. This is just a work plan so I will try not to get into a lot of detail about all the background of her life and her career accomplishments. All in all, I will try to make a very detailed list of all the games and achievements that relate to her life and just like any other page I will cite all of my information in which i have pulled from the internet to help me make my claims.

Abidou 1 and 2 are children learning games that is designed to introduce young adolescent children to number, shapes, and colors. The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble (1994) is based after their near-annihilation of Earth during its last atomic war. The surviving human population went back to the center of the planet where the last known traces of life-sustaining warmth remained. Awaiting any surface radiation, centuries passed before the humans finally ventured back into the world above, discovering that their planet has sprouted a beautiful, overgrown jungle in their absence along with various races of obscure living things, including a peaceful race known as the Bouzouk, whom still differ from humans by their tails, pointed ears, and extraordinarily long noses, representing that of a bunny like species. In the societal structure of the Bouzouk, there was a King and a Council of Wisemen, seven mystics who had successfully maintained universal harmony by guarding the Chprotznog, a sacred containment unit used to channel and subsequently trap evil spirits. Having failed to learn their lesson from last time, the humans engaged waged war on the Bouzouk tribe in what is known as "The Great Battle". In a day, the humans destroyed the Bouzouk civilization, hurting many innocent civilians and looting their holy artifacts. The surviving Bouzouks were enslaved and forced to construct a new society for the humans.

Coktel Vision

In 1996, Mauriel Tramis joined the Coktel vision, a french video game publisher and designing company. She helped Coktel Vision develop some of their most well-known and best-selling games. She has created many child friendly, adventure/educational style games. Her most successful game was Gobliins. In 1991 Gobliins sold almost 1.5 million copies in collaboration with Coktel vision. Another one of her most popular games was Lost in Time. Lost in Time is a computer adventure game developed and published by Coktel Vision in 1993. It was promoted as being "The first Interactive Adventure Film using Full Motion Video Technology" and contained four graphical elements. These being full motion video, hand painted and digitized backgrounds and 3D decor. The plot for this game was based upon a woman exploring a shipwreck which has mysteriously been transported back in time to 1840 when the ship was still intact, she has no choice but to explore. Her sleuthing leads to revelations about her past. She quickly became interested in creating stories and images with computers and collaborated with Coktel to create her first adventure game. The result was Méwilo, in collaboration with Patrick Chamoiseau and Philippe Truca. The plot takes place in Saint-Pierre on May 7, 1902, around the time of the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée. Building on the success of Méwilo, Tramis directed Freedom, about a slave who has one night to escape from a plantation. She created this game to show the legacy of the very little-known history of colonization and slavery and the consequences that it still has today. The game combines adventure and strategy. In this game, persuasion and alliances are combined tactical phases of confrontation, with bare hands or cutlasses. Tramis was soon promoted by Coktel Vision to manage various projects.

Adam.Klekman please list 15 reliable sources, and annotate each of them. Please see this fellow student's work for an example. I strongly recommend you use the library resources, as many of these are not reliable sources. I note that one is clearly a blogspot blog(!) -- Theredproject (talk) 03:07, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
