Pietro Lazzini Portfolio

In Intern you play the role of an intern newly hired by a game studio. The company professes to be open to all diversity but in reality has no tools to facilitate the work of all employees

Summary of contribution

This is a group project only with designers for the game design academy.

in this project, my job was to create the game mechanics and the tasks that the player had to solve to do the work in the company.

Choices

Project Goals

With Intern we wanted to address the issue of accessibility within video games.

People with disabilities, even widespread ones, have a lot of difficulty if video games do not have a suitable design (see Game Maker's Toolkit).

Gameplay Breakdown

Once the player "enters" the company, he or she will have to perform tasks to get the job done.

As the player listens to the company head's strangest speeches, he will be faced with an escalation as the tasks become increasingly less accessible and confusing for staff with disabilities.

The player together with the other employees will develop programs to make these tasks accessible again to those with disabilities.
