Interview:
✧In one or two sentences, what is your game about?
Set in Gaza, Palestine, players travel between the past and the future in order to restore their community. Pomegranates incorporates 3D models and stories of the people and landmarks that have been lost so that the player will experience a reimagined Gaza that exemplifies the strength and hope of the Palestinian people.
✧What was the inspiration of the game? What made your team decide to make this game specifically?
Being Palestinian and going through October 7th, I knew my thesis had to be about this. Then in January Juanjo joined after working on an anti-colonial game about Puerto Rico. He decided to join to stay in theme of anti-colonial games.
✧Talk about your teammates! What was everyone’s role?
Juanjo joined in January, which was extremely helpful. He did the coding, level design, and narrative design. I, Yasmine did modeling, sound design, and all art.
