Residence Plan
My residency will focus on developing an original game concept that I have been working on over the past year. I have long admired Japanese artistry and folklore, and have been particularly inspired by Japanese horror in video games. As a result, I feel Tokyo is the ideal place to further develop this project. The research and experiences gained during the residency will help shape the game's narrative, worldbuilding, and storyboards, while deepening its connection to the cultural influences that inspired it.
