Document Creation/Organisation - I create crucial documents to help track progress and inform all departments of narrative details. This ranges from Dailgoue Asset Lists, Narrative breakdown documents, Puzzle/Mechanic lists, Character profiles, and much more.
Mentoring - A part of Serious Point Games internship/ WEX programme is helping people develop their skills and have the opportunity to gain experience within an industry setting. I do this by providing constant feedback to the team, whether that be dialogue or character ideas etc. As well as taking constant feedback from the team on what skills they want to develop and how to best support their growth.
Leading the Narrative Crew - I assign each member meaningful tasks to not only progress the project but also to help improve their own skills. Additionally, I host weekly Writers' rooms, as a group and individually, where I bring important topics to discuss. This would often involve ideation of some kind, where each member has their ideas heard and explored.
My Key Contribution/ Involvement:
The Man Up was a game jam the group completed in order to highlight men's mental health. The game consists of an unnamed male character walking through the town in order to meet his friend that he is texting. Along the way he engages in conversations with other characters. During this conversations it triggers the character to this inky environment that represents their thoughts / mind. Each character is associated with a challenge and a societal stereotype surrounding mens mental health. These challenges reflect the struggle to overcome these societal expectations and hopefully make a positive impact by the end of the game, giving the optimistic message that talking about your feelings is completely okay to do, no matter your gender.
