CONCEPT TRAILER [2019]
Back in 2019, when I started working on Linda & Joan, I created a concept trailer to try and communicate my idea for the video game, but also to act as a kind of inspiration board for myself. When you’re a team of one you can’t rely on others to inspire you. During the first year of development, I used to periodically rewatch it when I needed to be reminded of mood and aesthetic. I am writing this in 2024 — five years later — and while I’m struck by how basic the concept trailer now feels, I am also comforted by how many of my original ideas and intentions are present in the latest version.
