HISTORY

It all started with a jam! George: Scared Of The Dark evolved from an entry to Procedural Generation Jam 2015. Originally called "Mountains That We Climb", the mini project took one day to create and experimented with generating 2D scenes with simple mountains, clouds and changing weather systems. The jam entry got good feedback on its strong visual aesthetics and Alex decided to start developing the concept further into a game a month later.

MOTIVATION AND CONCEPT

"I wanted to create a game that was more than just a casual mobile game. I wanted it have more depth, mystery and story. In particular, I wanted the game to feel atmospheric, for the player to be temporarily immersed into the magic of the game world. At it's core, I wanted it to have a central theme of overcoming challenges and conquering fears."
