About us

This game sketch, Maiden Pink, was created as a group project for Digital Game class at OCAD University.

The game aims to explore three theoretical frameworks, based on the personal interest of each of the creators:

• Roxanne - Narration through mechanics - finding an appropriate balance between the player’s relation to the mechanics and the mechanic’s ability to tell the story.

• Yiyi - Evoking emotions in video games - applying retro style as a method in the process of creating artworks for video games to evoke player’s old memories and emotions.

• Dikla - Testing the relationship between mother and daughter through the theory of separation-individuation. And the feminist approach to parenthood, describing motherhood as one of the many aspects of a woman’s life.

We document the creation process in our blogs:
