The Snowfield

Released 2011 · By Team M.I.A.

The Snowfield is an experimental project in emergent narrative set during World War I. It was made by a team of 10 student interns from Singapore and the U.S. in 2011 as part of the eight-week GAMBIT summer development program at MIT. The Snowfield represents an attempt to make a simulation-based narrative game according to a special method for developing such games, a method designed to avoid the need for complex A.I. or massive content generation. The idea was not to relying on codified narrative theories or formulas - like three-act structures, etc. - but rather assume "what makes a good story" cannot be systematized and instead must be arrived at organically via extensive user testing.
