Wow, this year is really flying by.
I'm happy to share something I've been working on with iNK Stories NYC. Our game, Lili, was recently featured at the Cannes Film Festival!
It's been really interesting to lead the game design effort on such a unique title. Lili is a "screenlife thriller" meaning all of gameplay and storytelling takes place on a virtual desktop, and you (the player) take on the role of a modern-day hacker, breaking into systems, solving puzzles and driving the narrative choices.
Lili has to be one of the most exceptional game design challenges I've had the privilege to work on. We're using live-action video feeds from multiple camera angles (allowing the player to spy on other people), while presenting time-sensitive hacking challenges, and a variety of story-telling devices.
It's common in game development to work on something in the shadows for a long time without the opportunity to share. But amazingly, Lili was featured in the Cannes Film Festival immersive competition, as the first video game ever to be showcased in this category.
Additionally, because the story off Lili is a modern adaptation of The Scottish Play (Macbeth), we have partnered with the Royal Shakespeare Company to produce their first video game ever!
"Lili makes Cannes history as first ever video game to be showcased."
It has been an incredible honor to work on this project, and I hope to have more news in the future. Thanks for checking in.
