Waltman Creates New Video Game

Communications Media faculty member Jeremy Waltman recently published Weatherworn to the Steam gaming platform. Waltman handled directing, writing, art asset creation, and game development.

Weatherworn is an all-ages adventure about the young Pup and their grandfather Pap stranded on a dangerous world. A retro role playing game with a modern pace about life and loss.

Pap is voiced by Dave Pettitt, who has voiced Master Asia from Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Sludge from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and the narrator of Valiant Hearts. Weatherworn also features voice work from Victoria Hogan (Kingdom Come: Deliverance) and science educator Justin Shaifer.

Along with the game, Waltman is producing an upcoming full-color prequel comic book. The game cut scenes are hand-drawn in the same comic style.
