I’m in the middle of working out the mechanics of how the user relates to the text appearing in the environment, so I’ve constructed a prototype version of Sandymount Strand based on the text and archival materials. Here’s a snap of how it’s looking.
In Ulysses 
How will you choose a startingpoint? Where can the user go, and where does Stephen go? Will he masturbate? Will there be other people, dogs, dog corpses?

It will begin at the beginning, but we’re only making a section. The user will be fixed on a path but will control forwards and backwards and the direction of Stephen’s head. I don’t think we’ll get to the masturbation in this iteration. Other people, dogs, dog corpses are all in the if-we-have-time pile for the moment. I have an ideas for how to express certain aspects, but I need to try them out. The rusty boot is done 🙂
Keep in mind, that this is an adaptation, not an attempt to completely recontextualise the entire book. Think of it like a fun theatrical reading on Bloomsday. It’s a bit of fun that hopefully will serve as a new way in to Proteus.
