IndieCade Festival 2016

We Are Chicago is a first person narrative-driven adventure game that uses real people's stories and complex relationships to present and confront serious, challenging, non-fiction issues. There's a lot more to doing this right than simply first designing it as though it were any other entertainment title just redecorated to a realistic theme. Cindy will take you through parts of the process that might be non-obvious from the outside, unexpected challenges encountered and overcome, as well as general lessons learned by Culture Shock Games during the creation of this title.
