The series has tackled mental health, identity, and even racism in its stories. Along the way, relationships between characters, such as Chloe and Max\u2019s friendship and Sean and Daniel\u2019s sibling bond, have driven each narrative in memorable ways. The games have always centered on our choices and how they shape the people and world around us. As the series goes into its third iteration, it leans into its strength of authentically portraying life\u2019s hardships and complicated emotions.<\/p>\n<p>The latest entry, Life is Strange: True Colors, is a new starting point, starring a new character with a different power: Empathy. It\u2019s also the first mainline entry not being developed by original development studio Dontnod; instead, it is being created by Deck Nine, the team responsible for the outstanding Before the Storm prequel. Here\u2019s a behind-the-scenes look at how Alex Chen\u2019s journey came to life and why empathy was always a driving force in its creation.<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/the-making-of-life-is-strange-true-colors-1.jpg\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> Your decisions will shape the community of Haven Springs and the relationships Alex forms there <\/article>\n<h2>How Before The Storm Informed True\u00a0Colors<\/h2>\n<p>Deck Nine is intimately familiar with the Life is Strange world and what makes it unique. The team loved bringing to life Chloe and Rachel\u2019s sweet-but-somber story in Life is Strange: Before the Storm and surprised fans and critics alike in how they gave the character of Chloe more layers and allowed players to understand her plight better. One thing that stood out in the team\u2019s mind was the power of empathy in telling Chloe\u2019s story. It stayed with Deck Nine until Square Enix approached the studio to develop the franchise\u2019s third main entry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was very much a period of discovery, where there was no rush to find the right thing,\u201d says narrative director Jon Zimmerman. \u201cWe had the time and the freedom to explore all different ideas. And it was actually pretty soon that we came to this notion of empathy; that was the germ that led to everything else\u00a0\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that we wanted to embrace the fact that a narrative adventure game is a literal experience of empathy,\u201d adds senior staff writer Felice Kuan. \u201cWe loved that aspect of it, and that was there from the start.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside>\n<h2>Welcome To Haven Springs<\/h2>\n<p>Deck Nine is located in Colorado, where the game is set, so the team had plenty of inspiration and motivation when creating Haven Springs. \u201cI think a lot of people are finding Colorado and saying, \u2018Oh my god, this is an amazing place,\u2019\u201d says producer Rebeccah Bassell. \u201c[It\u2019s] the tiny small mountain towns, how active everybody is outdoors, all of the unique quirks that these tiny communities have, the wildlife that you get to see &#8230; The biodiversity of everything across Colorado is spectacular.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bassell says much of the inspiration for Haven Springs was found in the tiny mountain towns in the Rocky Mountains, adding that the environmental team looked at Colorado towns like Georgetown, Nederland, Gunnison, and Telluride. Modeling Haven Springs after these towns also worked well to convey some of the game\u2019s themes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe box canyon is a term I learned while making the game,\u201d says narrative director Jon Zimmerman. \u201cAnd that\u2019s the topography where you\u2019re kind of in a valley surrounded by these massively tall mountains in all directions, and that became so crucial narratively. Because when you\u2019re looking out and you\u2019re seeing these mountainous walls that are framing this little gem of a town, it raises one of the central questions that we\u2019re pursuing about what home is. Are these walls of a fortress that are protecting you from the outside world, or are these walls of a cell that are keeping you contained and not letting you be the fullest expression of who you can be?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Both Zimmerman and Kuan were new to writing for video games when they worked on Before the Storm. It let them come in with a fresh perspective, and they quickly realized video games had a big advantage when telling stories. \u201cWe would talk a lot about big picture things around narrative adventures, and we often came back to this thing of how absolutely unique and spectacular it is to place a player in the perspective of a character that you want to create a dramatic journey for, and how that differentiates games from every other medium,\u201d Zimmerman says.<\/p>\n<p>Deck Nine quickly became immersed in the fan community for Before the Storm. One of the team\u2019s favorite pieces of feedback was that players who previously didn\u2019t love Chloe changed their tune after playing as her in Before the Storm. \u201cA common thread was that someone would say, \u2018Hey, I found Chloe a little bit much in the first game, but then after I was in her shoes, I would die for her,\u2019\u201d Kuan says. This revelation helped solidify that something special happens when players embody a character and experience their point of view.<\/p>\n<p>From here, Deck Nine started focusing on creating True Colors\u2019 protagonist: Alex Chen, the first Asian American lead in the series. A big goal was to maintain the complexity of the characters we\u2019ve seen throughout the series and provide somebody completely different from before.<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/the-making-of-life-is-strange-true-colors-2.jpg\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> <\/article>\n<h2>Bringing Alex To Life<\/h2>\n<p>True Colors is a story with many layers, and Alex\u2019s journey cannot be summed up in one sentence. We meet Alex when she\u2019s just leaving a group home after eight years. She\u2019s heading to live with her brother in a town called Haven Springs [see sidebar]. She gets along with her brother, but they haven\u2019t connected in some time. \u201cHer background is intentionally a source of mystery,\u201d Zimmerman says. \u201cShe comes from a broken family, and she was separated from her brother at a young age. She doesn\u2019t have anyone in the world looking out for her by the time she comes to Haven Springs. We\u2019ll see in her reuniting with her brother how that brings up the specter of their past and how Alex shies away from wanting to engage with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead of her introduction to Haven Springs being a joyful one, tragedy soon strikes when Alex\u2019s brother dies in a mysterious accident. Alex is not only on a quest to find out what truly happened, but she\u2019s also searching for her own place in the world, a community of her own. \u201c[We knew] that Alex was going to be someone for whom that was singularly meaningful to her, because of her background in foster care and never having a real home,\u201d Zimmerman says.<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/the-making-of-life-is-strange-true-colors-3.jpg\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> Erika Mori had to mocap some of Alex&#8217;s most emotional scenes from her apartment due to COVID-19 <\/article>\n<p>Alex is 21 years old, making her more mature than previous Life is Strange protagonists and giving her more adult situations to confront. She\u2019s at an interesting point in her life, where she\u2019s trying to figure out who she wants to be and what she wants to do. Her life in the group home may not have been great, but it was comfortable. Alex is now leaving all of that, but she sees the limitless possibilities in everything.<\/p>\n<p>Erika Mori, who not only lent her voice to Alex but also performed motion capture for the role, describes Alex\u2019s personality and outlook best: \u201cAlex has an almost insatiable curiosity to discover what makes people tick, understanding the \u2018why\u2019 behind words or behavior. However, she has lived with the power [or the curse of the power] of empathy her entire life, and its volatility has made life difficult \u2013 making her watchful, cautious, and an outsider by circumstance. But she always carries with her this thread of hope that makes her a character of resilience and (ultimately) joy.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside>\n<h2>The Thought Behind Alex\u2019s Love Interests<\/h2>\n<p>Love is in the air for Alex in Haven Springs, if you want it. Alex has two main potential love interests, but it\u2019s cool if you just want to be friends with both of them. For those who do take the leap, you&#8217;ll choose between Steph and Ryan. Fans may remember Steph from Before the Storm; she\u2019s fiercely independent, sassy, and always on the move. Ryan, on the other hand, is a quintessential outdoorsman but dork at heart. He has spent his life embedded in the DNA of Haven Springs, as his father owns an establishment in town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Steph and Ryan] are great foils to one another and what Alex wants to do next in her life,\u201d says producer Rebeccah Bassell. \u201cSo when Alex is establishing these relationships, the two of them have their perspectives on being a part of the town or seeking adventure somewhere else. It\u2019s fun to have them be a little trio of friends together because they definitely push and pull what the other wants to establish that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Alex is in touch with her emotions since her power is empathy. This led to the decision to make her an artist \u2013 a musician, to be specific. \u201cAt a certain point, we realized that we were talking about an artist, because [we needed] someone who has that kind of a filter on the world \u2013 a sensitivity and vulnerability that they can\u2019t turn off,\u201d Zimmerman says.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding and sharing another person\u2019s feelings is a skill that seems in short supply these days, but Alex has always seen it as more of a curse than a blessing due to its emotional toll. However, if she wants to find answers about her brother\u2019s death, she needs to tap into this ability to see what people are hiding. Discovering how to represent her power wasn\u2019t easy, but it proved an essential part of who Alex is and who she becomes.<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/the-making-of-life-is-strange-true-colors-4.jpg\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> <\/article>\n<h2>Making Empathy Matter<\/h2>\n<p>Until this point, Life is Strange characters have possessed supernatural powers, like Max\u2019s ability to rewind time and Daniel\u2019s telekinesis. Alex\u2019s power is based much more in reality, as she can feel the emotions of others, but it comes with a twist as she can also manipulate and absorb these emotions. While Deck Nine was initially intrigued by the concept of empathy, it didn\u2019t prove easy to discover the best way to portray this ability and make it still feel authentic.<\/p>\n<p>As opposed to other Life is Strange protagonists, the writers wanted Alex to have access to her power at the start of the game; she\u2019s been living with this ability, and she\u2019s already formed her own relationship with it. \u201cWhat was very compelling to us was [her] power starting in foster care, in the brokenness of her family, you could very well imagine that would make an already bad situation worse,\u201d Kuan says. \u201cTherefore, that gives Alex a lot of complexity within herself, an ambivalence about this power \u2026 Because we didn\u2019t want to look at empathy just as a gameplay mechanic but as a thing that can be both a wonderful tool and a source of harm or a source of self-doubt. Having her in that spot, both supernaturally and just from the mundane emotional level, was very interesting to us.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside>\n<h2>Family Bonding<\/h2>\n<p>The only way to truly feel like a family is to create embarrassing memories, right? Alex\u2019s voice actress Erika Mori never had an older brother but got a taste of it thanks to Han Soto, who voices Alex\u2019s sibling Gabe in the game. \u201cHan stepped seamlessly into that role [in real life] by constantly scaring the pants off of me on set all the time with his pranks,\u201d Mori recalls. \u201cThe director and [assistant director] literally told him that he was allowed one scare per shoot because otherwise, the only thing that we\u2019d be capturing would be me screaming in fear and laughing at him being the worst in true older brother fashion. Still, to this day, he\u2019ll randomly send me a screenshot of my scared face from a shoot. I think I have enough of those photos to fill out a dating profile.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Zimmerman recalls it taking time to figure out how to best represent Alex\u2019s power in the gameplay but says finding the solution is one of his highlights working on the game. Alex\u2019s power of empathy started very simply, with the team using different colored auras to represent specific emotions in others. However, things got exciting when the developers came up with the idea to add \u201cnovas.\u201d Novas create a supernatural flare that transforms the world before you, offering a reflection of another person\u2019s psyche. In this highly charged emotional state, Alex sees fragments of thoughts and memories to help her get to the root of the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think [novas are] when everything really clicked into place from a story and design marriage standpoint, because we had the freedom to get kind of surreal and abstract in evoking, \u2018What does fear feel like?\u2019\u201d Zimmerman explains. The team went beyond just thinking about the emotion itself into how the feeling would be represented in a specific character. Zimmerman uses the example of fear looking very different for a child than it does for an older person, saying the novas allowed the team to dive into all the various nuances of empathy.<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/the-making-of-life-is-strange-true-colors-5.jpg\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> All episodes of True Colors will be available at launch, but the game still keeps the five-chapter format and intense cliffhangers <\/article>\n<p>When it came to Alex\u2019s power, Mori had to think carefully and experiment for her performance. \u201cIt was a really interesting puzzle to figure out how to perform a specific emotion that was going through several different filters before arriving in the world,\u201d she explains. \u201cFor example, when another person\u2019s rage would overtake Alex, she would intimately know how that rage was feeling for them, but it would also trigger her own feelings and [memories] of her own rage. Ultimately, Alex was trying to contain the emotional resonance of two people \u2013 the other and herself. It was fun to play with the different ways to show this with my face, body, and voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, understanding characters on a deeper level is bound to impact a choice-heavy game. That\u2019s not lost on Deck Nine, as the creative team constantly asked itself what kinds of dilemmas and challenges would occur through the empathic experience. \u201cAn obvious one is if you can empathize with a person who is doing something immoral, does that change the way that you feel about the action that they\u2019re taking?\u201d Zimmerman says. \u201cI think that there\u2019s a whole family of questions, not that those are the only things that come up as choices, but things that we felt were exciting territory to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n<article class=\"embedded-entity\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/the-making-of-life-is-strange-true-colors-6.jpg\" typeof=\"Image\" alt=\"\" class=\"image-style-body-default\" \/> <\/article>\n<p>It\u2019s an interesting choice to put in the player\u2019s hands, as they can decide whether to have Alex experience, absorb, or even manipulate the powerful emotions in those around her. For instance, do you let someone feel the painful emotions, or do you take these feelings away from them? And what toll does that take on Alex? \u201cWhat the game ultimately says is that it is a balance of understanding where your personal boundaries are,\u201d says producer Rebeccah Bassell. \u201cThe player can decide that for Alex, and at the same time, [decide if they should] honor the feelings of those around her, because it is a very precious thing to take away someone\u2019s agency. You may think it will help them, but it may not. And that\u2019s the choice that they have to navigate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Navigating emotions is already complicated, but Deck Nine takes it to a new and intriguing level by making players consider the different facets of empathy and its positive and negative parts. Since empathy is the driving force behind the game, it makes sense to challenge the player with its complexities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For more on Life is Strange: True Colors, you can read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/review\/life-is-strange-true-colors\/life-is-strange-true-colors-review-more-powerful-in-life-lessons\">our review<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"text-align-center\"><em>This article originally appeared in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/magazine\">Issue 339<\/a> of Game Informer.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/2021\/09\/11\/the-making-of-life-is-strange-true-colors\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life is Strange made a name for itself by focusing on relatable characters dealing with complex, real-life issues.
