Vanova’s Stories is my end of studies project at E-Artsup school in LYON.
I worked on it as an art director and also helped to create the main concept.
​
For this project, we actually made 2 versions :

VANOVA'S STORIES 2020
2nd year-end project
​
We had to make a game with two constraints in mind :
- A « connected » game
- A multiplayer game
So, we created a unique concept: A cooperative investigation game featuring AR elements.
The concept is the same as any other investigation game. But to talk to NPC or pick items, the player will have to scan specials cards. That means that he will be the only one to know what’s the object he picked or what the NPC told him.
Another important feature is that some elements will only be pickable by specific inspectors that the players can play as. They will have to cooperate to collect all the necessary elements to solve the case.

Graduation Project
​
We kept the first game we made for our 2nd year, but removed all the AR elements and focused on the cooperation between the players.
We returned to a simple point & click, with enhanced dialogues possibilities.
​
Since the most important part became the dialogs and the search, I also reworked the backgrounds and added animations to the 2D sprites.
