Project Footstep

Project Description

The year is 2102. Climate change has wreaked havoc on Earth, and much has changed. Accompany Medela on her hike up Cedarspire Trail to observe the comet she was named after. Compare pictures her grandfather has taken with the surroundings now, up to 65 years later. Do your part to help nature heal, and always consider the impact your actions have on the environment.

What I'm doing

• Came up with the idea of a post-climate change scenario, pitched to the team.

• Defined the overarching story together with the other writer in the team.

• Designed the narrative systems we want to use to bring the story across.

• Determined options for environmental narrative.

• Wrote descriptions and texts for signs, posters, graffiti, etc.

• Painted in-game graffiti artworks.

• Writing voice lines for the main character and side character.

• Directing a voice recording session with an actress.

• Creating a short cinematic for the end of the game.

• Regular coordination with the rest of the team.

Detailed documentation will follow once the project is released!

What I'm learning

• Being responsible for all things narrative, not just one mission or aspect, and weaving them all together.

• It's much harder to stick to a project of your own initiative than a project that's your job.

• I prefer using environmental narrative over voice lines.
