Rob in the Hood

For the subject "Scriptwriting and Narrative," my team and I developed a visual novel, an adaptation of the literary classic "Robin Hood" (the original version), with our protagonist being "Facundo," a boy from the impoverished neighborhood of LaFerrere who has had a very difficult life.

While it is a demo that needs some polishing, we managed to create an interesting story with a very scalable and adaptable visual novel architecture. I was responsible for creating the system that allows easy addition of scenes, texts, sprites, decisions, etc., from the editor using ScriptableObjects; and I programmed all the scene controllers, text bar, sprites, etc.

SYNOPSIS

In the desolate streets of LaFerrere, Facundo grows up under the loving care of his mother María, who, despite all adversities, provides him with a childhood filled with love and sacrifice. After the tragic death of his mother, Facundo is forced to face the harsh realities of his environment alone from a very young age, resisting the temptation of crime while striving to keep alive the legacy of integrity and dignity his mother taught him. In a journey marked by adversity and internal struggle, Facundo embarks on a quest for identity and redemption, finding strength in his mother's love and hope for a better future amidst the despair of a disadvantaged neighborhood.
