Shakespeare Themed Games

A short description of the play: Two lovers elope and a Demetrius who loves the girl who eloped goes after them. Helena Who loves Demitrius follows along. Both Demetrius and Helena get lost in the forest and Puck a fairy plays a trick on them by dripping flower juice onto Demetrius's eyes which makes him fall in love with the first person he sees which happens to be Helena. Puck the fairy then reverses the effects and everything returns to normal however this time Demetrius truly falls in love with Helena. But the new lovers remember everything as a dream.

Taking flower juice, fairies and the main lovers as inspiration, we decided to have Demetrius and Helena as lovers before the spell. Of course every game needs an antagonist therefore we decided to make the queen the villain who drops the flower juice onto Demetrius's eyes after he accidentally killed one of her fairies. Helena goes through the forest to try and reverse the effects.

In our team we have:

Mary - Creative director, Narrative and Script Director Dee - Game Level Designer Monica - Game Programmer

Celine - Game Artist, Animator

We tried to put in an underlying message that females are capable of doing the saving and killing as well as males. Helena is portrayed as a weak maiden but that is only because of societies oppression of women.

Just a small note - Monica is amazing at coding, I was surprised as her vast knowledge of coding! Whenever we came up with an idea that seemed quite complex, she said she was able to do it and she did. Mary is good with ideas and management - keeping the group on track and checking up on us, and Dee has good level designs and was able to change aspects quickly without complaint and we all contributed a lot! All in all I couldn't ask for a better team.
