Valentin Chauvin
Creating a game is a long and challenging process, even more so for a small team, as is often the case with independent games. It involves sacrifices, with no guarantee of success. It's a highly risky endeavor, both in terms of human effort and finances. Behind every independent video game is a human-scale story. Celeste's story is primarily about the people who made this game possible, those who poured a part of themselves into its graphics, storyline, music, and gameplay. It is enriched by the experiences, choices, mistakes, successes, coincidences, and hardships that its creators endured long before writing its first line of code. As personal as it is universal, the essence of Celeste, preceding its existence – with all due respect to Jean-Paul Sartre – is what makes this game unique. It is the sum of the stories of Maddy Thorson, Noel Berry, Lena Raine, Amora Bettany, Pedro Medeiros, and all the individuals who contributed to its creation.
This book is a blend of these human stories, as well as their connection to the various layers of interpretation within Celeste, presented through a narrative form of exceptional intelligence. These are the elements that led to the well-deserved success of a title created by a group of endearing, imperfect, passionate, but above all, incredibly human friends.
