Creating our characters<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Our team created Wayward Strand\u2019s characters based on personal experiences and stories from people in our lives, particularly older people. We wanted our characters to be active within the story, as opposed to waiting around for the player to come by before they do anything. Georgia Symons, one of Wayward Strand\u2019s writers, remembers that \u201cthe goal was to give each character the potential to \u2018move the story forward\u2019, through whatever actions they take.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In early demos we were excited by how simultaneous storylines give the player the opportunity to happen upon scenes or storylines in mid-flow. It helps the player both understand and feel that there is a world of activity going on outside of their character.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Ghost Pattern\u2019s earliest mock-up of the Day 1 schedule in 2016\/2017.

Each character can be the centre of attention for a bit, then the player can follow them as they return to their rooms, and be with them as they process what just happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Screenshot of the current build, at the front of the ship overlooking the coast.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">We\u2019ve challenged ourselves to make every character as interesting as possible over the course of three in-game days, and that\u2019s a part of making Wayward Strand I\u2019ve absolutely loved. Often I\u2019d have a conversation with someone \u2014 my mum or an aunty or a friend \u2014 they\u2019d tell me some story about someone they once knew and I\u2019d think, \u201cthat is SUCH an Esther thing to do\u201d or \u2018that\u2019s exactly how Joe (one of the nurses) must be feeling about Dr. Bouchard\u2019.

Our first plans were to explore fully-3D spaces in an over-the-shoulder format, within a single-story hospital; when you went into a scene, the camera would cut around as each character spoke. In that demo, we weren\u2019t seeing the larger backdrop of the busyness of the hospital, or even the beautiful sea\/skies outside, and decided to go in a fundamentally different direction.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-4.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>A scrapped layout of the ship, where the rooms were laid out widthwise.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Maize Wallin, our audio director, says the change to a side-on view is one of the key experiential differences. \u201cThis side-on doll\u2019s house view makes it much clearer to the player that there\u2019s constantly things happening around them.\u201d We built our next demo in a side-on style, where the camera looked \u201cdown the barrel\u201d of the ship, and rooms were laid out widthwise. Only after working with Su-Yiin Lai, an architectural consultant, did we discover that lengthwise was the best way to achieve the comic-book style we were hoping for &#8211; this was the final rebuild, and what you\u2019ll see in game.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-5.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>An early design of the lengthwise hospital airship.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-6.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>How the ship looks today!<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Hear, there, everywhere<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">One thing we\u2019ve been confident in since the very early days is that the game should be fully voiced; as well as wanting the game to benefit from actors\u2019 performances, like theater, we needed the player to be able to hear all the conversations going on around you as you play. We did two rounds of \u2018practice\u2019 voice-over recording sessions in 2016 and 2018, which taught us that the voice-over production for the full-game would be a massive undertaking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">And it was &#8211; over the course of six weeks we spent 30 days with our actors, across four studios around the world. Maize, the technical audio director for the VO sessions, says we\u2019ve recorded over 18,000 lines of dialogue; the equivalent of about eighteen feature-length movies. It took cohesive narrative direction, programming, technical audio, and audio engineering and voiceover audio specialists to make it all possible.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-7.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/how-ghost-pattern-built-the-story-driven-world-of-wayward-strand-7.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Casey is heard making many hellos!<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As we\u2019ve gotten close to release, we\u2019ve been watching people play the game and realised although many things have changed along the journey, our core goals never wavered.
