The Doctor Will See You Now
I am the Project Lead and Lead Artist for The Doctor Will See You Now, an experimental game about being queer, non-binary, and trans in the American healthcare system. The Doctor Will See You Now examines feelings of belonging and estrangement, comfort and discomfort, and invisibility and hypervisibility , and how these experiences of disempowerment in the healthcare system can be intersectional across race, gender, sexuality, class, nationality, citizenship and age.
The Doctor Will See You Now was generously supported by a two-year research fellowship from the University of Chicago’s Game Changer Design Lab, and it was showcased at the Different Games Conference at New York University. I was also invited to speak about TDWSYN on a panel titled "Chicago Made Video Games as New Media Art" at the Adler Planetarium's Adler After Dark Series.
The game is implemented in Unity, and I designed graphics and animations with the Adobe Creative Suite and Spriter.
