Development Devlog

The development process overall

We want to make a game about women, but “women” are too big and they are facing different problems from countries to countries. Trying to represent all women seems too arbitrary, so we decide to focus on our lives. 

We are from China where women could “hold up half of the sky.” Most of us still can, but no one wants us to do anymore. From TV shows to job interviews, we notice that people think home is the place for women. Knowing that I’m not allowed to “hold up the sky” is what makes us create this game. 

Starting from “trivial” things in our life, we find a pattern of women’s lives and decide the following features are the most important in our game:

• The character must have no control  In this game, the character must move in a way she can’t control. No matter what she does, men think she does it from them. In everyday life, a woman can dress up for herself, but she has to take those unpleasant sights. She will also be blamed for that beauty if she is hurt by a man.
