You describe yourself as being fascinated by how stories can inspire people and shape their perspective.
Did you grow up immersing yourself in books, movies, and other types of stories?
Ive absolutely been immersed stories since I was very young.
I was the kind of child who would read a book a day.
And I told her I wanted to be a story worth telling.
That still stands today and has become a backbone of the kind of experiences I create.
What stories most inspired or resonated with you?
Thats a tough question: I love many stories for different reasons.
All of his classmates have wealthy parents to get their children internships, I dont have anything.
The gentleman gave the cab driver his card and told him to follow up.
Could you begin by telling us the genesis story behind Alterea?
Using these experiences, I was finally able to foundAltereato produce such experiences professionally.
Can you describe what a player should expect to experience?
Eager to meet my godly mother, I play an archery game with her.
Talking to her after, though, Change seems preoccupied.
The Jade Emperor declared my mortal husband Houyi and I can never be together.
Will you send him my love?
you’ve got the option to reach him using the Maya Vision Serpent.
Or do you think helping Mordials allies to create a revolution would allow Houyi and I to be together?
When she further explains Mordials plan to eliminate humanitys free will, I consider the consequences.
Change leads me to Artemis , who initiates me into the Revolution with one of five symbolic spells.
Four more symbols in her room hint at undiscovered stories.
When it seems the gods on my side will lose, our leader summons Mordial, weakening the gods.
Now we demigods must fight to protect our gods and finish awakening Mordial.
Because of my efforts, the Revolution wins and fully awakens Mordial.
As the pantheons separate, I follow Change, who fought alongside me to create this Revolution.
She wears a bittersweet smile as she takes away the free will of her pantheons leader.
Now nothing can keep her and her love apart.
As ASCEND comes to a close, I look around Mount Olympus, reflecting on my experience.
Why is being a hero of your narrative versus being a passive observer so important?
I truly believe were transitioning from a time of storytelling to storyliving.
Would I be friends with Ron or Hermione?
Would I run toward or away from the dragon?
Conventional forms of media pose questions only as hypotheticals since youre not personally going through the experience.
These were the consequences.
Now you’ve got the option to think about why.
These kinds of changes cant happen by reading about doing something.
Alterea is an extremely collaborative company and therefore it’s important for us to choose our partners carefully.
We look for collaborators that are both ambitious in the vision and realistic in their expectations.
Could you tell us about some of the previous interactive experiences Alterea has worked on?
We realized this narrative through live-action roleplay, immersive theatre, themed games, and an escape room.
At the same time, other gods are rallying demigods against their parents.
The audience must choose which side they will join in the epic finale at the end of the evening.
They were also taught skills to avoid misdirection by recognizing logical fallacies and data manipulation.
Is there anything else that you would like to share about Alterea?
What continues to stand out to me about Alterea is our company culture.
As a company, weve effectively built a collaborative environment where everybody can truly take ownership of the product.
Consequently, we have an incredible team.
Furthermore, were all creatives with a very strong process and an emphasis on having a measurable impact.
