I'll be Brave, Tomorrow

I'll be Brave, Tomorrow is an adventure driven narrative experience, combining the precise pixel art platforming of the 80's, and a deep narrative revolving around a sick child.

The game itself has two aspects; The 3D hospital room, where there are many objects to interactive with, as well as mini-games to keep the kid entertained...

But there is also the video game they play, which is a classic 2D retro platformer! The 3D world will interact with the 2D in various ways, from new mechanics found, to boss fights!

InkForge Studios are supporting the wonderful Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) Charity, pledging to donate 50% of the games Steam revenue! GOSH, established in London 1852, is one of the worlds leading children's hospitals.

Every year, GOSH receives 242,694 outpatient visits and 42,112 inpatient visits, with the hospital home to over 60 different clinical specialties. It stands as the UK's widest range of specialist health services for children on one site.

When we started development on I'll be Brave, Tomorrow, we knew we wanted to make a difference. Our director, Thomas Hunt, was once a patient at GOSH himself. The welcoming atmosphere, kind staff, and wonderful facilities made a huge impression, so when it came to pre-production, he knew he would finally be able to give something back!

The story is one of escapism. The main character is Robyn, a child who is sick with a serious illness, stuck in hospital. Their parents buy them a new video game console, which comes with a copy of I'll be Brave, Tomorrow, a platformer which sees you playing as a Robin.

The two Robyn/Robin's mirror one and other, in their struggles to overcome adversities. Robyn uses video games as a form of escapism to keep their mind off of the hard times they're going through, as do many of us who play video games.

The Robin you play as in the 2D world is also struggling with their own problem. They are too scared to fly, and have lost their family! It will be your job to help them on their journey to overcome their fear of flight, and reunite with their lost family.
