Valiance

Valiance is a narrative story game. The goal was to use video games as a medium to tell a story in an interactive fashion to increase immersion among users. In Valiance you play as a Ted and his sister Sophie. Ted is thirteen years old and Sophie is nine. They find themselves lost in the woods after their father's car plowed off a ravine killing the driver on impact. Valiance is the story behind their journey to civilisation.

The game opens with a cut scene showing the car crash and Ted's desperation at his un-waking father. The gameplay starts when Ted decides to take his sister and find shelter at some caves he knows are nearby. This will be the tutorial stage of the game teaching the player how to climb, jump and swing with Ted and Sophie. It will also teach some parts of how they work together in order to scale larger obstacles. Once they reach the caves the game will go to a dialogue scene where we learn more about the siblings and their life.

Valiance is narrative game hosting a variety of puzzles which focus on controlling two characters and utilising their strengths to survive and return home. The game will be released on the playstation store for $1nzd so that everyone will be able to jam my awesome game.
