For my project I am looking to create a historical exploration of a Mental Asylum, showcasing the historical changes that occurred from the beginning of Asylums, to the modern day asylum. I wish to showcase this to the player through the eyes of someone with a mental health issue in order to create empathy and raise awareness for those affected. Example mental health issues i will look into portraying are:
Schizophrenia
Depression
Psychosis
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Multiple Personality Disorder
These illness' are ones i find interesting and wish to portray. Some of them i thought up and decided on myself and a few others were recommended by friends who have a close link to the understanding of the topic. One of them, has just graduated from a course on Mental Health Nursing and is currently working as a mental health nurse, the other one is currently studying psychology. I am hoping that they can help give me insight as well as articles/journals to read up on in order for me to have a better understanding of what I am attempting to portray.
What I am also hoping to achieve in this project is to show my expertise in 3D environment and atmosphere as well as touching on narrative/storytelling. This is all stuff I am highly interested in and wish to pursue. The reason for picking a topic such as Mental Asylums and Mental Illness' is because I too have a deep interest in these subject and am fascinated by the history of it all. Due to my keen interest I really hope to achieve something unique and special by the end of my degree.
