Module Synopsis​

​

During one of my modules called the Games Innovation Gauntlet, we had to build rapid prototypes in the span of a week or two depending on the requirement. This game jam was unique and at the same time challenged me to step out of my ordinary routine of creating prototypes and designing something more radical. 

​

As the industry is ever-growing and ever-changing games have become more accessible and disabled friendly and keeping that in mind we had to design a radically inclusive game that is designed for a select few and catered towards them to enjoy games just like others. 

 

The module brief was the following. It is time for us to be radical, radically inclusive. Designing with inclusion from the outset and questioning your design biases from the outset. 

This challenge is presented to us by Faye Allen, Lead Augment Reality & Game Developer at Sugar Creative. www.sugar.agency

Prototyping ​

​

1. This game jam was the most fun project I had created as I got to dive deep into a world of graphic audio and do some extensive research about surround sound. ​

2. Since I am an avid reader and have listened to quite some audiobooks I already had an idea of the surroundings and situations I was going to make the listeners feel engaged. 

3. An inspiration for this media I was told to look into was a blind game called The Vale: Shadow of the Crown which gave me some more idea about how the players would actually navigate within the world and how the sounds would tie into the gameplay.

4. Since it was done on such short notice I used the help of an AI voice website that quickly helped me with the dialogues in different accents. Website is called- Replica Studios
