CODING

21.06.2024

This game has the goal to make people aware about the unfortunate and unfair situation, that important female film pioneers don’t get close to the same amount of attention as their male counterparts. The visual style additionally enhances the meaning behind the game, while at the same time giving it a bit of light playfulness. It acts as a starting point for further research, which is of high importance.

It consists of three seperate screens which can be switched by using the keyboard. The first one acts as an explanatory intro screen. 

On the second screen, the player can drag the faces of famous male filmmakers by using the mouse. This will uncover the photos of important historical female filmmakers. When the player clicks on each photo, a pop up window opens, containing information about the lives and careers of these women. At the current moment, the window also shows film stills of their works, but in the further process I'm planning to switch these out with short film clips. 

By using the keyboard, the player can switch to the third and final screen, where they not only get xxx.... but are also being reminded that this game is just the beginning of giving these incredible women the attention they deserve. 

Working on this project gave me the opportunity to explore a whole new world of skills, practices, and ways of creating - which definitely got me hooked on diving even deeper into programming.
