For iPod Installation: Sea Horizon

In the world of Sea Horizon, every step counts in a journey of survival and high adventure! This roguelike turn-based RPG is presented in a 3D bird's eye view of a hex grid map that's different every time you set out to explore the shattered archipelago of Myrihyn. The game requires strategic thinking and skillful decision-making, as dice rolls and card-based actions govern your fate.

Embark on a perilous adventure in classic role-playing style, navigating treacherous landscapes, battling fearsome enemies, and uncovering hidden secrets. Each new playthrough offers a fresh experience, with procedurally generated maps and unpredictable events keeping you on your toes.

The Sea Horizon installation is an immersive experience that combines interactive storytelling with innovative technology. Using an iPod Touch, pico projector, and fog, the game comes to life in a unique and captivating way. The video installation is accompanied by an online documentary produced using Korsakow, a platform known for its interactive and non-linear storytelling capabilities.

Commissioned by Transition Journal of Videographic Film and Moving Image Studies, the Sea Horizon project showcases the creative potential of combining technology with traditional RPG elements. By blurring the lines between gameplay and documentary-style storytelling, this innovative installation challenges our perceptions of what gaming can be.

As a media scholar and artist, I draw inspiration from a range of influences, including the works of Michael Snow and Jorrie Penn Croft. My own creative projects have explored themes such as gender representation, cinematic deconstruction, and the history of experimental and narrative film. In my spare time, I study abnormal feline behavior, which may seem unrelated to my work on Sea Horizon, but ultimately informs my approach to storytelling and game design.

Through EDIT Media (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Teaching Media), a national initiative I co-founded, I am dedicated to researching, developing, and educating about best practices in inclusive teaching in media production. My current research focuses on inclusive pedagogy in media production, which involves exploring ways to make media education more accessible and equitable.

The Sea Horizon installation is just one example of how technology can be used to create innovative and engaging storytelling experiences. By combining traditional RPG elements with interactive documentary-style storytelling, we can push the boundaries of what gaming can be and offer new ways for audiences to engage with narrative and game design.
