The Heartbeakers

Hello everybirdy!

I was recently invited to join the development of a friend’s game, which is super exciting! Before I joined the team was only two people, an artist/designer and a programmer. They asked me to do the writing for the game and of course I jumped at the opportunity!

As much as I love 2D and 3D work, narrative writing has a special place in my heart.

So, it’s a strategy game called The Heartbeakers, in which you play as a small bird leading your friends into battle against evil vultures. In order to win fights you have to change the birds’ emotions, because vultures are weak against some emotions and strong against others.

The story is that the vultures have stolen seeds from the birds, and the birds have to get them back. There’s also talk of a disaster looming in the near future, which will upset the natural balance of emotions in the world…

This is what the game looks like at its current state! The artist and the programmer had already gotten a lot done before I joined! I’m excited to see how it turns out!
