In 2021, I was contracted by InGame to develop the first paper prototype of Stand Tall to test with users. The development workshop was hugely successful with the IHC community, and I was asked to stay to continue developing the game design, write the script and assist with project management. Fast-forward a year and half, and now Level 1 has been developed for mobile and desktop, with levels 2-4 still to come.
Available on Desktop, Play Store and App Store.
Throughout the game’s development, it was imperative that we engaged meaningfully with the community we were designing for. Especially since our audience included such a wide spectrum of users, from those with Down Syndrome to those with high functioning Autism. We held a number of workshops for user testing, and contracted a couple of users to intern with us as artists and game testers.
