Initial idea
Can we use games to mediate about serious problems and if yes can we use this to raise awareness about what's going on?
First concept
Using the turn based core make an escape game that represents the current events in Chechnya gay jail. Support this with the messages of real people and also provide possibility to directly donate and help the cause.
Task management
Development of the game core with
a whole team, the conceptual creation of the game through sketches, character/world building and main mechanics programming.

First builds
Creation of prototypes including developed graphics assets and mechanics separately, so they can be stored and used as templates lately. Active testing and bug searching.
Bug fixing
Solving bug problems that were found and twitching mechanics. Combining mechanics in one solid build.
Alpha build testing
Testing of a solid project, finding incompatibilities of mechanics and perception borders.
Final build
Cutting down and polishing followed by optimisation of the build. Small twitched followed by a final testing.
Next step
Building more levels and creating more interaction with a developed mechanic.
Creating a deeper story progression.
Provide gradually increase in difficulty.
