You Are Being Followed
Originally developed in association with BAFTA, based on a concept by YGD2016 award winner Nic Gordon, You Are Being Followed is a Virtual Reality experience built in PlayStation®VR. The game has you view the world from the perspective of blind protagonist, Emma, who has began to suffer from severe paranoia, with the player only able to see what Emma can hear.
As the Producer/QA Lead for the project I was responsible for a number of things:
-
Managing a team of eight
-
Creating and maintaining the schedule and assigning tasks
-
Co-ordinating communication with the IP Holder, Publisher and Platform Holder
-
Organising playtesting sessions, both to test playability and ensure that discomfort from the VR was kept to a minimum
-
Maintaining and managing a bug database, writing test cases, and co-ordinating with external testers.
You Are Being Followed is currently working towards release on PlayStation 4 by Early Summer.
