"Closer" is a simulation game app specifically designed to bring together couples in long-distance relationships. The app aims to provide a sense of closeness and connection that is often lacking in such relationships. Within the app, couples can join as characters and engage in various activities together, such as cooking, watching movies, and dancing.
The project outcomes include character design for the game, a comic backstory featuring these characters, and a video demo showcasing the gameplay. The character design follows a simple style, with an emphasis on pattern designs inspired by textile designer Zandra Rhodes.
The comic backstory adds depth to the two main characters by narrating their story of living far apart and the loneliness experienced in a long-distance relationship. The couple discovers the app Closer, which allows them to join as 3D game characters and partake in activities together. The video serves as an introduction to the activities available within the game for the couple to enjoy once they enter.
