Canary's Chirp - Development Post #5

Hello!

This post will detail all the story bits of the game and how everything happens in Canary's Life.

Chapter Breakdown

The chapters are divided into scenarios and each scenario is divided into gameplay sections. The chapters put emphasis on one aspect of hardships faced by the family.

• Chapter 1 shows the family struggling to deal with the death of Canary’s Grandpa and how Canary is adjusting to it. It also showcases how Canary feels pressure when she is asked to interact with strangers outside the family.

• Chapter 2 showcases the tantrums thrown by the autistic child and how the parents deal with it. The chapter is the most game-play heavy and the biggest one since it showcases the most sensitive things.

• Chapter 3 showcases how Canary’s talent is perceived by the talent and how the parents support it.

Character Cards

Each character is unique and different in their own way, be it the way they dress or the way they talk. The characters have been assigned traits and been given a short description in order to facilitate the way their dialogues will be written and how they will react in different situations.

A small example is when Canary throws a tantrum, her mom will be the first one to crack since she is more emotional while her stern father will take control of the situation and try to control Canary. The difference in characters and their approaches meant more interesting characters over the board and variety in terms of dialogues and cut scenes to populate the town in the game.

The next blog post will detail the prototype programming and how everything is made!

Cheers!
