For the end of this semester we are tasked with creating a Game Project Proposal (GPP) which explains the goals, content and methods that...
When researching audience I really struggled with narrowing down a niche for Maive. During the feedback for our first pitch of the game,...
Maive's World Kerris' research on fantasy is the main informant for the setting of Maive. We wanted to use a broad western fantasy world...
As Maive embodies this game down to its title, it's crucial that her design is spot-on. Alongside that comes the characters that she...
For this project, we wanted to keep the mechanics minimal and well-designed. There were two bastions of development for this: Maive's...

My research so far seems to have asked a couple of retrospective questions: Why do fables have such resonance across cultures/ages, and...
Something that sets fables apart from other types of storytelling is their morals. They are didactic in their purpose, they aim to teach...
I began this week with a look at some fictional works to give me a practical look into how different creators tackle the idea of fable....
Despite the debate around whether Aesop really existed, the collection of fables attributed to him are both classic and extensive. I...
