4s hello sky kids my name is Charlie Pope
6s and I am a writer here at that game
8s company and I atas Chen G designer at
12s that g company we are so thrilled to
14s finally welcome you to season of
17s movement I read the books and I quickly
20s became very excited for the
23s collaboration because I could see right
24s away that the books were very special
27s and that the stories were something very
28s different I fed a sense of a resonance
32s like the story was like telling
34s something that I cannot express myself
36s they have this way of jux posing
39s seriousness with silliness Darkness with
42s light in a way that I found very
43s inspiring merging that with Sky was
46s really just a matter of finding the
48s point of intersection we try to find the
50s value that is Shar in both Ming and sky
53s for example uh we see the sces of
56s friendship compassion and love and
59s there's a lot of healing happening the
61s main element of the m and IP that
63s inspired the gameplay was a specific
65s story The Invisible Child from the book
68s Tales From mman Valley so the main fetch
70s quests follow this story directly we
73s really wanted players to feel like they
74s were in a story book kind of lifted
77s right off the page the format of this
79s season is actually very unique very
82s different from uh how we would do
85s seasons traditionally one of the first
87s things we played with was a sense of
89s scale right like butterflies are small
92s and being such a tiny point of view
94s allows us to get right up into the
96s perspective of ninnie who's a child we
98s also played a lot with color and
100s saturation you know nin is invisible at
103s the beginning of the story and through
104s the chapters becomes more and more
105s visible again we set the entire world in
108s black and white with these small pockets
111s of color that would expand from Key
114s emotional moments if you ask me what is
117s the experience I want uh players to fail
119s I would say I hope you fell seen in
123s maybe one or two moments I know that we
126s have a lot of fans who come to Sky
129s because they find it to be a place of
130s safety and I'm really hoping that those
134s fans of ours will be able to find some
136s hope and some catharsis in nin's Journey
