I want to make games that let players embody the hopes and dreams of another, finding unity with a being different than themselves.
Stuff I love:
Experiences with new tools. Comporting my body into infinite configurations. Feeling the success of an input combination with speed and precision that causes a bodily reaction.
An articulation of inner mastery, hard fought and adopted through focal practice. A practice that teaches you something about yourself.
A medium of transfers, where one digital skillset asserts the rise of other abilities through application in a new system.
Willingly changing forms. Begging questions that may otherwise not apply to you. Lending a temporary, visceral strength in an environment that rings true to still life, but remains on the periphery of a future possibility.
You are a button to push, toggling the beauty of worlds ad infinitum. Enabling tacit knowledge of one not my own.
I cry to you, laughing and holding dear your contents. Your active embodiment represents universal truths common to all, taken form in the individual alterity.
Should be based outside of realism. A fun house mirror of real world movements and characteristics
Provide a narrative frame of reference, critiquing our perception of life and death, of our earthly impact, and its temporality.
Purport a world beyond the mortal one we find ourselves in now. Rebirth and life eternal, the chance to make right what you at first fail.
Ultimately giving hope to players. Providing a sense of connection and shared experience with other consciousnesses, even if briefly.
No photorealism, the world and colors and concepts should scream.
Concepts should be impossible according to real world standards.
Alien and grotesque - so far removed from human architecture. An ant colony,
Sterile and cold - removing the messiness of traditional life and death to allow for rebirth
