CPS week 4 - Discussion of Place

MY ROOM - GAME

Here is the link of the game: "https://julieeebabe.itch.io/my-room"

In response to this week’s theme of  “Discussion of Place”, I designed and produced an interactive videogame “MY ROOM” to  explore the special relationship between people and place. The game is not designed for players to ‘play’, but for players to ‘feel’ how they change and develop in this place as the place is not only a space to contain them.

By having a setting of a girl waking up in the morning and start to look over the room as well as the girl’s internal monologue demonstrating different characteristics according to different objects in the room, I expanded the function of a room towards a fantasy world which creates, builds and develops the girl.

Similar work could be find with 'THE NOVELIST" as a special videogame for player to explore a small house with characters' memories but explore how narratives, different characteristics are being told and shown in this house. The game follows a family who rent a holiday home not realising it's haunted - by you. It's a great work to demonstrate how a single place suits a character and how a single place can tell a character. 

This inspires me to create “MY ROOM” to show different characteristics regarding to this place by telling narratives.
