Dr Livingstone, I Presume?

Story

Dr Livingstone, I Assume? is a first-person perspective logic game based on historical events of African explorers in the XIXth century. The story of David Livingstone's disappearance in Africa and a journalist Henry Stanley who was sent to discover him is and so unbelievable, that fifty-fifty our game designer was securely surprised that information technology'd really happened. The histrion takes the role of Henry Stanley. When the protagonist arrives at Ujiji and enters Dr Livingstone'southward business firm is when the game begins. But, surprisingly it'due south non the showtime time Stanley is nowadays in this house. We took a risk to show the later story of the historical meeting in Ujiji - dying Livingstone and Stanley who rushes back to his friend to have a risk to say goodbye. We decided to create the Scottish-African fusion in the fine art to highlight the history of dr Livingstone, his early years in England, travels to Africa, fame and bully struggles.

Concept

The master concept of the game is, how we like to call it, "reversed escape room". The player is encouraged to go deeper into the house, non to escape it. All rooms are also not then ordinary. We lean strongly towards the idea of a foreign house past giving extra unusual twists to the interiors. It'southward visible in decorations, piece of furniture and objects, that are conceivable, but somehow extraordinary. And, what may be less ordinary in a "normal" house, rooms are equipped with puzzles to solve. What nosotros aim for in this role is to blend the puzzles with the environment as much as possible. To attain this all puzzles are designed precisely for a specific room, using object and mechanics that can actually appear in such room. All these treatments are aimed at getting a sense of the game as the whole story, a plot that finally finds a solution, logically connected events. As opposed to simple travelling from one riddle to another.

Gameplay

Dr Livingstone, I Presume? combines two types of gameplay - 3D exploration and 2,5D puzzle solving. Both in 1 game. We wanted to ensure the "walking simulator" kind of feeling merged with classic mechanics of moving sliders, pushing buttons and rotating handles. The actor can look inside cabinets, read notes, look at objects that take hold of his or her attending in classic FPP mode. But special interaction with puzzles, fifty-fifty though it's still with 3D objects, allows the histrion to motility the cursor in 2D space. This procedure gave our designers space for more than circuitous and interesting puzzles while still keeping the concept of puzzles merged with the environment.

Fine art

The game art style is a stylized low poly. This choice was dictated past the desire to ensure timelessness and uniqueness. In the art, we aim for a soft fusion of African art, colours, music and culture, of victorian Scotland from Livingstone's babyhood and youth and of accents associated with smashing geographical discoveries, travel and exploration. Furniture, objects and puzzles are made with sharp edges, no right angles and gentle brush strokes. Nosotros consciously gave upwards the use of normal maps, instead, 3D graphic artists carve decorative elements by hand. Almost all textures are besides paw-painted, which creates an absolutely artistic atmosphere. The histrion has the impression that he is moving inside a small work of art. The whole is complemented by sounds that our sound designer composes individually for each puzzle.
