Abstract: My creation of the game “Face Your Fears?” has been a deeply personal
exercise in storytelling, which uses different mediums to find the best way to convey
an ultimate message of balance. This project demonstrates the necessary artistic and
design elements that are required in video game creation, as well as showing my own
process in the making of this story.
“Face Your Fears?” comprised of a framework that possesses the possibility
for a unique experience with every new user. Though it is a personal connection to
my own thoughts and experiences, thematically it stretches to broad meaning and
questions how we as people choose to approach that which scares us. The elements I
have created exist as the foundation for what this game could be, and express
mechanics, functionality, and theme that would be present in the fully rendered game.
With the creation of these game elements, I analyze the success of the project and
detail the work involved and its accompanying meaning.
