The Journalist

Nonviolent photography action-adventure

itch.io Page

Out now on Steam

I've been working on The Journalist. I wanted to make an action-packed game, but didn't want typical combat. So I came up with this game.

I have a very good memories around Seoul. I used to walk around alleys of Seoul, expecting what would there be around the corner. Sadly, a lot of these venues are now being redeveloped. So I wanted to make a game about these places that make Seoul such a charming city.

If you're interested, you can wishlist the game on Steam, or follow me on itch.io.

Thank you.

This is a work-in-progress chapter select. I wanted to make the access to each chapter convenient. Like Braid or Journey.

This board is inspired by The French Dispatch. Title designs are placeholders, so It will be improved later.

I worked on this speech bubble this week. Players will be able to talk to various citizens all around the city. With some of them giving players a side quest.

Side quests will be less complicated than main missions, but instead, they will pose a different kind of challenge.

I have a lot to share today! There have been some major changes to the level. First and foremost, the marketplace.

It's much bigger than before. There are some important missions that take place here, so the new size affects gameplay too. I am going to keep adding stuff here, so stay tuned!

In my previous games, there were hardly any tutorial. Players used to be confused and quit. Therefore, I decided to implement a more structured tutorial this time. But I don't like handholding players too much, so I am trying to find the sweet spot.

The overall level has been greatly improved too. New buildings added, props placed, etc. Although It's not easy ensuring the whole enviornment asthetically coherent, it's also quite a fun process!

That's all for today. I'd be appreciated if you could wishlist the game on Steam! See you again next time.

The result screen now has this little animation that arranges all photos.

The Journalist launches on March 28 PDT, so wishlist it now!
