I'm excited to announce that I've published the first chapter of The Last Survey.

Over the course of the past 2-3 months, the game has gone under some considerable redesign in order to "strip down" the visual elements in order to highlight my narrative. In a lot of ways this has been a response the joy of making work away from the computer and trying to not focus so much on 3D rendering. I'm still doing a lot of modeling, but the intention is for that work to feed into the charcoal drawings I'm making for this project. I thought it would be appropriate to use charcoal, since it somewhat addresses a missing materiality I wanted to have within this work.

Also, I wanted the drawings and my animations to be complementary to the narrative, which I've been really enjoying writing, researching, and editing since announcing this project. In a lot of ways, I've been thinking about this more as a piece of writing and animation than I have a game, but I still like having  dynamic"choices" inform how audiences can navigate this subject matter.

I'm going to try and complete the rest of the development and animations for the work for a late 2018/early 2019 release, so stay tuned for other announcements. I'm always looking for productive and thoughtful feedback!
