Pictures from Fish Lake – watching the game as it’s built


I post here often, as does Maria Burns Ortiz, our Chief Marketing Officer and our intern/ research associate, David Berning. Occasionally, we get a post from Dr. Erich Longie, our senior cultural consultant and Dennis De Mars, our senior game developer. A team we rarely have represented is our artists, they being men who believe a picture is worth a thousand words.

So … here are a couple   … outside the wigwam, near the end of the game

Wig Wam in the snow

And, earlier in the game, building the wigwam

and still earlier in the game, a Red River cart

As you might guess, students progress through the levels, loading up their cart to move, eventually ended where they’ll camp for a while, build a wigwam, and are in it safe, warm and happy by the time the snow gets really deep.

You can see some examples of animation on our youtube channel – although, these are mostly our earlier versions of the movies and 3-D animation, so what you’ll actually see in the game will be more finished.
