To cross from VR to Instagram, there needs to be a way to verify completion of the game.
Can have trigger for AI that is like if the player asks for code, then do xyz… and another trigger that’s like – if its been 5 mins, then prompt the player to ask for the code
‘xyz’ – can be telling the code and leaving, or it can be sending the Player to a different environment where the code is written
Or it can be telling the code, leaving, and written thing of the code and the Instagram handle are there on the island
Rather than accounts – code can be randomised 6 letters / numbers – that when generated are emailed to
neetikumar8@gmail.com (for validation prior to acceptance into private Insta)
It can also be that on passing the test, the public account follows the player – bragging rights for who is followed, and then close friends is activated for winners
This makes more sense as not enough content for two accounts – and managing it may be too much of a task
I have decided to go with the email option, which is now working. I am also able to set up an email with the same code being sent to the player, but this would require a Key Board being added into the space, and asking the player for their email. As this is not necessary (the player can remember the code especially if I make it 4 digits), I will only do this if I have time later on.
Additionally, I have decided not to create a second Instagram account. Instead, on verification of the players’ code, I will follow them back. This itself if a separation of those who are followed back and aren’t, and also relates to the social incentives of Instagram, where having more followers is a good thing that is sought after. There are further perks post devotion verification such as being added to close friends where users can vote on certain decisions. As well as this, on verification, (with permission), the player will be publicly congratulated for the devotion with a post to make them feel superior.
