honestly i have no idea if anyone even finds any of this fun or interesting in the way that i do i might be doing all this work for nothing but oh well
alan knows about the museum and knows his books are in the gift shop because it's something i already established via mention in the book club post, but IDK if he's walked through all of it. he probably would have just gone to see what was up in his and scratch's at first and not poked around the rest yet
plot twist i use this all as essentially a portfolio piece to reapply to the museum i used to work at but as a member of the exhibits team instead of as a security officer
and the lighting in the bright falls hallway (set 7) is going to transition from day to night as you go through the woods and across the bridge to diver's isle!!
since i think that's a fun bit and since Scratch's exhibit is supposed to be a warped mirror of Alan's it can BE THE OPPOSITE where it's flannel alan and then becomes Scratch in the suit hugging and kissing Alice when she enters the frame
i thought that the trashed apartment would be an interesting set for alan's return to the dark place segment, although... now that I'm reflecting on it none of the sets involve the office/study in bird leg cabin so maybe i will change it
i was mostly going with the trashed apartment in the Dark Place as a callback to the signal/writer dlc parts buuuut the cabin interior should happen somewhere and my other option for it was set 1 but i think a void works better for that (I'd so something more like alan's childhood bedroom growing up but that would be 100% headcanon set design)
(because we don't see any childhood flashbacks in the game, we only have the manuscript page where it talks about his childhood memory with the clicker)
(i did consider doing the well-lit room though since it's where he finds the manuscript page... but i dunno, because that location is much more significant to cynthia weaver)
also set 2 originally said [Set transition to All Black Room with one entire wall made out to be a replica TV playing Night Springs Episodes] but now that it's a hall I think doing a row of TVs that show night springs episodes is better
i started writing the signs for the exhibit (i have one done so far) and yes, it is absolutely my intention to read alan for filth in this re: his unresolved daddy issues
development plurk (because it kind of feels like it needs its own at this point)
