Hello! My name is Valerie, and I am a part of the ARTEMIS XR team! I am new to the VR world and excited to work on my first game Protectress VR- this game, created by team members and me, is a VR gaming experience where the User is to save a sacred forest from deforestation by planting a unique plant and receiving ecological wisdom along the way, the User must plant trees to obtain the knowledge from the Tree Kingdom to restore the sacred forest. On this project, my primary role was story development and writing the script. Before diving into the script, we used Milanote to break down the story ( rising action, climax, etc.) and the User's emotional journey throughout the game; then, we wrote the script from our level design and story outline. Through the environment and our characters ( Artemis and Kikoyo), we aim to add some elements to help the User feel connected to the experience while taking the User on an emotional journey. It was challenging from script to mocap day, especially coming from a documentary film background...
