VENDARI —
LOST LAND OF MAINERA
BACHELOR THESIS
DENISE HOHL & EILEEN RÜEGG
In our thesis, we explore how to create an intuitively accessible game which allows players to experience intense emotions through environmental storytelling realized by dynamically adapted levels and tracks in a snowy landscape. The Game «Vendari» takes place in the frozen lands of Mainera, where Tabinga, a young girl, got lost in a terrible snowstorm. A wordless story gets told through a beautiful frozen environment in which the girl tries to find her way back home by following tracks.
