A ROOM APART
SGDA Game Jam - August 2020
Placed 1st in "Excellent Writing"
​
Narrative Designer
A Room Apart is a visual novel about friendship in an old-school chatroom. Written with old-school lingo, that's accessible to all ages.
​
In this game jam, the theme was "Internet Friends." To prep, I drafted up design documents, there's a sample below, that would help guide us towards making a believable story about blossoming friendship in a Late 90's chat room.
This project also gave me the opportunity to work with another narrative designer! We coordinated on character designs and split the writing duties across 4 Acts of story.
​
I learned a lot about collaboration with this project especially writer-to-writer communication! The two of us would constantly be checking each other's scripts, highlighting discrepancies, and then meeting up to resolve issues. I also got a feel for asset management in scripts: making sure that what we wrote didn't put any stress on the 2D & 3D artists.
