medianet GAMES International introduces Telescope Game Studios

How do you use the strengths of both movies and games to tell one transmedial story? Co-Ceo Reza Memari and Studio Director Mafalda Duarte provided the answer on March 14th, 2024 in our online interview series.

The development studio not only works on their first game “The Rise of the Leviathan”, but also on an animated feature-film and series called “The Last Whale Singer”. The clou: all three projects are based on the same characters and world-building. Instead of a cinematic adaptation of a game or a gamification of a movie, both projects are developed to go hand in hand while also stand for themselves.

In this entertaining chat with IndieAdvisor's Andre Bernhardt, Reza and Maflada talk about the difficulties of managing three different projects at once, how to effectively use the characteristics of both movies and games, and how it’s possible to truly tell a transmedial story.
