The influences behind my field of study and the setting of Crescendo, are stemmed both from personal experience and tragedy. I have always been interested in Walking Sims and Non-Games, and have always wanted to produce one of my own to be proud of.
As for the Alzheimer's disease part of Crescendo, I am currently living at home with my Grandma who suffers from it. It is not a graceful disease and it is not a fair one. I really wanted this project to be personal to me, so I have based it upon actual happenings at home, using my grandparents as templates for the fictional story between an old woman suffering from Alzheimer's disease and her dead husband she cannot seem to find (My granda is still with us, and he takes really good care of her). The Game is littered with little winks tomy grandparents, such as a young picture of my Granda used as the husband's photo, and almost the entire living room based on furnature from out house.
Crescendo would hopefully bring more attention to the cause, and if/when I get back into building the game, and developing it further, it would be good to use it to helo raise money for it.
That's all I'm willing to say about it here, but I'm always open to talk about anything with anybody, so if you can travk me down, go nuts! (Don't really go nuts, please.)
(Macaroni and Haggis for tea tonight. YES MIXED UP, WHY?!)
