Metis Folklore & Game Design

Abstract

In an effort to address the lack of Metis culture in the entertainment industry, I researched a way to adapt Metis mythology for video game design. I did so in the hopes that presenting Metis folklore and cultural values through an interactive and modern medium such as video games, would promote interest in Metis culture and inspire more representations in other projects. My presentation focuses on sharing my process of conceptualizing a video game based on folklore, and the ways culture can be adapted to a video game setting.
