Narrative Designer for the Videogame Black Tsars

Student: Kudriashova Vera

Educational Programme: Design (Bachelor)

Year of Graduation: 2024

This project is dedicated to working with the apocalyptic genre, to create a complete immersion in the apocalyptic world of the game "Black Tsars". I have researched various sources of information: from ancient myths and biblical legends to contemporary game projects. After conducting a major analysis of these works, I was able to identify the fundamental elements of the genre for its implementation into the setting, characters, dialogues of the game, and so on. All of this has helped me create an original work that does not lose the feeling of the chosen genre.
