The video game Horizon Zero Dawn (HZD) continues opening new avenues for me as an author. A couple of months ago I stumbled upon the opportunity to take part in developing a video game through an indie company, Dyscordion Entertainment Inc. Although excited by the idea I was nervous about participating. If I took part, I needed to contribute the resources and skills necessary to be an equal Dev (short for developer). The last thing I wanted to do was let down a team of people depending on me.
My decision to tackle this project is two-fold:
1) The initiative is being led by a friend and fellow author. We met through interacting on each other's HZD fanfictions.
2) I wanted to pursue more collaborative exercises which would assist in regaining my ability and confidence.
Thus far I've had zero regrets. The assembled team is professional, dedicated, and incredibly talented. Not to mention a lot of fun! The game's name is 'Second Star' and I encourage you to check out both the website and trailer! Follow one of the social media platforms to stay updated on progress!
Anyone who's followed me for a while will know I love how modern video games are delving deeper and more creatively into narrative. It's been a desire of mine to become involved in the creation of one of these games so I am enormously grateful for this opportunity!
