Prototype is ready! But I can now proudly announce that a playable prototype for the video game GenoTerra is finished (and I graduated with the Master in Design *yay*). “Open World Games" have the potential for countless hours of exploration and fun through their huge game worlds.

External validation rarely comes your way, especially while seeking attention on social media – which is absolutely required to build a community and get to be known by players. I usually start with a location or concept from which I build a ‘mind map’. This finally leads me to prototyping and validation.

Later Elder Scrolls games cleaved to the now over-familiar formula of the Grand Theft Auto open world, shaping the world through chains of waypoints. For the open world game to truly satisfy the curiosity motive, the landscape has to be crafted in order to raise questions.

Then a little game called Return to Monkeys island came along and I took the next two years to build that with Dave Grossman and a wonderful team. When I first started RPGTBD everyone told me that it’s unrealistic to do a open world RPG with a small team. I shared the prototype with Elissa and she really liked it.
