Especially during the initial phases of development, back when there were no commercial plans, these experiences were significant sources of motivation, which drove us to realise our idea. It was especially exciting to overcome initial doubts about focusing a game around such dramatic and difficult topics, since games as a medium usually concentrate on empowering the player.īesides this, personal and familial experiences with death and cancer played an important role in the project’s development. At the time we felt that it would do our assignment’s requirements justice, in both theory and practice. The challenge of dealing with the taboo topics of death and dying within a video game, was an extensive and with regards to content a very interesting task. There were two key motivations which drove us to develop a game like In Between. Ultimately, players join the protagonist on his journey to face his own mortality and accept the inevitable which is rather unusual as game plots go. Early on, it is made very clear that there is no way of escaping his fate. In In Between you take on the role of a man diagnosed with terminal cancer. This mentality was manifested as our ‘Gently Mission’ and our ‘Mad Vision’. In many ways In Between influenced the values of our studio – to create games which do not conform but deviate from the Norm and established patterns. In retrospect though, it was quite the huge risk we took – building a company on such an artistic project but ultimately that decision is characteristic for the core values of our company thinking outside of the box and mustering the courage to be mad. Since it was our first commercial project, it really laid out the groundwork on which our company was founded, as well as helping us to generate attention within the industry. In Between actually started out as an assignment for a university project and helped us to define and flesh out structural processes within the team.
