lol ... When I first saw this I laughed. This is a cool and original idea. I did think it was a game at first, and was looking at the screenshot for ways to understand how it might play ... figured you maybe controlled ALL the people kinda like a `highrise lemmings` game. It's neat and definitely has potential!
I agree there should be obscure farts and corresponding reactions (ie farts increase the lift-emptying rate). I haven't watched the demo yet but I hope you get some lifts that break down for maintenance once in a while? I agree a stairwell is needed for the impatient folks. When people get involved in a conversation with each other there should be a chance that they don't realize the lift arrived and then get frustrated. Do you have people also sitting down and going to sleep? Also caterers going in and out with carts of food, and post-delivery people shuttling their little post carts around? Maybe you can also create families where the whole family has to end up on the same floor and they might get separated, and then as one person from the family goes to meet with the others they miss each other by taking separate lifts or something. Maybe also the lights go out sometimes and the bulbs have to be replaced. And maybe when the lift doors open to let the people out, they should have a new and unusual pose on their face which you can use to allude to what just happened inside. Half naked bodies? people crying? laughing? saying nothing? holding their nose? etc.
Cool!
