Video games have been part of my life – and the lives of many of my friends – since childhood. They’re not just quick entertainment; they create memories of playing with parents, siblings, or friends, they tell stories, they shape pop culture, and they explore the small and big themes of life. The challenge of combining so many different aspects – from design to storytelling – into one medium is what makes this project so appealing to me. Dorc! deals on a broader level with the question of what the development of “artificial intelligence” means for creative professionals now and in the future. The result is a game that, through its hand-drawn world and frame-by-frame animation, highlights the value of (human) creation in digital space.
