Meta the Monster

This project explores empathy in games by producing a prototype visual novel for use by researchers at West Virginia University. The prototype presents two alternate versions of the same game to differentiate whether children feel more empathy when they are identified with the main character or when they are differentiated from the main character. I helped keep track of the weekly work being performed and was the sole programmer, building the game with C# in Unity based on generated assets. A paper based on the study results was presented at NCA 2017.
