A keir for summer's end by MARMOT
A keir for summer's end Demo for Nintendo Wii by Marmot. Released at Skrolli Party 2024 14.9.2024 Credits: Code, design and direction: muffintrap Room background: MuffinHop 3D Models: RaccoonViolet Textures: Vurpo Music by: MIT-RICH @ Jamendo Background: I got an idea of making a demo featuring the melancholy of the part in Life is Strange game, where Max goes to the alternative timeline where Chloe is disabled by a car crash. Max wished everything to stay the same as in their childhood but when she meets Chloe and visits her old room, it is all changed. I cut together a video showing the idea: you can see it here in YouTube. https://youtu.be/u12Zhr9rbfA Later in the progress, when thinking about a name for the demo I found this word in the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, that captured the feeling I was going after. "keir" n. an ill-fated attempt to reenact a beloved memory years later, returning to a place that once felt like home, only to find it now feels uncannily off, like walking through a wax museum of your own childhood. https://www.thedictionaryofobscuresorrows.com/word/keir We did have original music made by Vurpo, but no time to sync the demo to it so the placeholder music was kept.
