In Between

A game by Gentlymad.

This game started as my Bachelor thesis and is now the first project of our company Gentlymad.

My contribution to this project:
Game Design, Level Design, Concept Design, Game Art, Animation, Story, Sound, Programming

Software I used:
Adobe Flash Builder, Flixel, Unity 3D, Adobe Photoshop, Ableton Live

The game is based around the five stages of grief (by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross), the emotional stages everyone experiences when facing an decisive turning point in life. The sensitive topic of death is frequently used in games but mostly on a superficial level.

Following the five stages of grief, the game tries to put the player into different emotional states of a dying mind. It is our attempt to integrate a sensitive topic, challenging gameplay and an emotional story into the genre of 2D plattform games.

The prototype, formerly based on Adobe Flash, was converted to Unity3D for better performance and distributing capabilities.
