For week 2 we looked at the various ways a story can be created. I took the concept of returning to your home, and began building ideas with a mind map around the fact that things will inevitably change if you’re away long enough.
By using a game, or animation to explore this idea, you allow the player/ viewer to feel how the protagonist is affected by this.
This has been explored in various ways by games such as;
Gone Home—sister has left
If Found—self discovery and reinvention
Night in The Woods—how things can change, but still remain the same.
I think ultimately I want to create something that accepts change, and shows that it is a natural part of growth.
