Hi everybody My name is Sherida and I've been a silent member of this forum for the last 3 years, all this time without posting a single thread. Time to change that.
Quick introduction: I develop games under the name tiger & squid by myself and have been doing that for the past 3 years. Originally I was supposed to be a game designer/ 3d artist hybrid but for some strange reason most of the programmers at my school prefered to work on more generic projects so I ended up learning myself how to code and occasionally cheat by using Playmaker.
I just launched a Indiegogo campaign for my game Beyond eyes. It's an exploration game where you guide a blind girl through an unfamiliar white space, slowly revealing your surroundings by exploring through touch, sound and scent.
Beyond eyes tells the story of Rae, a girl who lost her eyesight in an fireworks accident when she was just a toddler. The event left her emotionally scarred to the point that she no longer dares to leave the house by herself. Instead she spends her time tending her precious garden and playing with a fat cat she named Nani.
When Nani goes missing Rae gathers all her courage and decides to leave the safety of home in search for the cat. Although frightened at first she starts to explore and experience the world around, revealing their purpose and form by touching, smelling and listening to them.
As you guide Rae through this unfamiliar world your behavior as player influences the way she feels and behaves. A player who forces her into dangerous situations finds himself with a scared, distrustful girl who will refuse to do his bidding until he regains her trust. Of course if a player respects Rae's wishes and is careful to keep her from harm, she will open up to him and will trust him in difficult situations.
If you like you can check the campaign out here:
