The Journalist
The Journalist is a non-violent action game that aims to capture the magic of shooting film photography.
December 2023 March 2024
You have to consider many things when taking a picture. For example, the picture will be ruined if you move while the shutter is open. After shooting a roll of film, you have to visit film lab to develop it. Only then you can see the result.
If you're interested in this project, you can wishlist it on Steam or join the mailing list. I'll notify you once the game is out.

In The Journalist, you can drive around the city freely.I want cars to have roles more than just vehicles. I am still thinking about this part, so I'll share it later.

This is the game's main character with her camera. She winks when looking into a viewfinder.

The game is set in Seoul. Still very early stage in level design, but here's the current state.

Looks cool! The character is cute. Would love to see some more detail on the buildings/the city in general.

Thank you so much!  I am not satisfied with the current state of the city too, so I am planning to polish the enviornment as soon as I finish working on main missions. Cheers! |

Sneak peak at one of many missions in the game. You have to take picture of a certain person. But there shouldn't be another person in the frame. People are moving constantly, so it's little tricky.I decided to focus on implementing a lot of different ideas. Stay tuned!

Little corner of the city I've been working on recently. I am aiming to capture the cozy feeling of cloudy day, but I don't want it to be bleak. I am trying different things to achieve this.Don't forget to wishlist The Journalist on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2724770/The_Journalist

I finally added the indoor space of the lab. It's still work in progress, but I wanted to share here. After shooting a roll of film, you can now go to this lab to develop it.I also worked on speech balloon system. I don't really like dialogue-heavy games, so it'll be used limitedly.

Making trailer is always very rewarding as it acts as an important milestone in the whole production process. I wanted to make a trailer for quite some time. Back in December, I wanted to create trailer to let people know I am actually working on the game. But I thought making a trailer too early in the development would be just something little more than a formality. So I worked on a game for another two months, and finally made a trailer. Here goes!
It features soundtrack from the game. There are several more chill songs composed by Dongbaek, whom I met in College last year. You can look forward to it!
The game still has to be improved a lot, but I am very happy with releasing the trailer. Getting little more wishlists than usual too. If you haven't wishlisted the game, please consider doing so!

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.

Congratulations on the launch! I really admire that you've realized a non-violent action game.
