Lars
Schirrmacher
Even after more than 11 years of design experience, Lars still hasn't had enough of creating. So it's no wonder that print, digital, animation and interactive media are among his favorite areas. In addition to technical skills, he also has a passion for unconventional themes. Whether it's random chocolate varieties or bizarre creatures for VR dream worlds - Lars loves to surprise, confuse and twist everything with a pinch of humor.
Cat 'n Box
A video game about a cheeky cat and its fondness for boxes.
What is your project about?
Cats love boxes. For whatever reason they do.
In my project, we help Milton the little cat to get to a box on the level with a lot of (un)skill and everyday humor so that he can take a nap in it. Preferably, of course, the box is already in use.
What inspired you in particular?
In addition to numerous stories from cat owners and many hours of cat videos, the book Nero Corleone and the manga series Ch\f2\u299?\f3 zu Su\f4\u299?to H\u333?mu, among others, inspired me a lot.
How did you grow during the process?
You don't need complex sagas or causes to spark emotions. Sometimes everyday life is wonderful enough.
Were there challenges you had to overcome?
In addition to my severe allergy to cat hair, I had to let go of an exciting game mechanic in the middle of the project as it simply didn't fit into the concept. This triggered a cascade of further changes that I hadn't anticipated.
How could the project continue / develop further?
Towards the end, I came up with many more beautiful scenarios that are just waiting to be added and played. Stay tuned!
