Looking ahead, we will be refining the current story structure, implementing design refinements into the prototype (quantifying integrity score e.g.), and continuing to produce character emotions and environments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Design \/ Story<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_186\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-186\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/true-north\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7588-e1455397603251.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-186 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/true-north\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7588-e1455397603251-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7588\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/true-north\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7588-e1455397603251-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/true-north\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7588-e1455397603251-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/true-north\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_7588-e1455397603251-1200x1600.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-186\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tim&#8217;s notes on transition \/ &#8220;asides&#8221;
