ONE PICTURE, SIR !
Creation of a critical game concept, or how to take a subject and turn it into an impactful game.
Intention : To reflect on a heavy social theme, the effects of buzz through social networks, and research into the universality of the message/criticism posed on the subject..
Main tasks :
- Societal analysis and research
- Drafting of a clear and effective pitch document
- Production of visuals to support the concept
MY WORK
Critical Game
I decided to focus on arcade gameplay with highly intuitive features (few simultaneous player inputs) to reach the widest possible audience.
his allowed me to think about the most effective way of immersing the player in the action and providing a contrast to the intense emotions by the various scenarios throughout the game.
I also played on the player's frustration as he progressed, the difficulty increasing in parallel with the context.
Ethic Topic
For this project, I started from one of my passions, photography, and researched its history and evolution. What emerged was an expensive art form that, thanks to technological advances, has been democratized over the years and associated with social networks.
The intention:
To take a simple experience common to many people (posting a photo on the networks) and confront the player with emotionally intense situations (depression, anxiety, addiction).
