All Favorite Foods of Characters (Gwen, Atul, and More) Characters Gwen That said, these are both still very good trailers and I don't think they did themselves a disservice by releasing them in this order, but the Gwen trailer gets a chef's kiss from me.This guide shows all favorite foods of characters (Gwen, Atul, and More) in Spiritfarer. I think trailers with a less typical titlecard/gameplay structure perform better at shows like E3 too because they feel more like an experience than a list of bullet points. Oftentimes announcement trailers which show very few game mechanics, leave the audience wondering: "Okay, but what is the GAME part of this!?" This trailer would've answered that question by showing more characters, new interactions, and give a sense of the game's scope. I think this trailer would've worked better as a second trailer because it expands upon the ideas of the trailer focused on Gwen. It also shows little game moments, and even has a climactic moment with the thunderstorm before finishing by saying goodbye to Gwen. This trailer has a bit of the same sense of peace and tranquility, but it feels more like a typical game trailer with its title cards of: BUILD, CARE, EXPLORE (though "Learn how to say Goodbye" is a VERY good twist to draws attention). ![]() The camera pulls back to reveal some sort of arch, and there's a rush of light which transitions to the night sky where a deer-shaped constellation appears, then the title logo reveals. Gwen's body glows, and float above the boat. ![]() Then we're back at the scene from the opening of the trailer. The three of them get into the boat from the beginning of the trailer, and Stella starts to paddle. Gwen walks to the bow to tell Stella and her cat: "It's time." We're not sure what it's time for, but the question it plants can't help but inspire curiosity for what is to come. There is no sense of building towards some sort of climax or stacking game ideas atop each other, but here it serves the slice of life feel of the game. Stella's cat sits idle or rolls around during each of these scenes. Gwen uses a loom to make thread for Stella, Stella finishes baking a cake, and gives a piece to Gwen, then they share a laugh after Stella unsuccessfully attempts to remove a weed from the garden. ![]() We then cut to a montage of scenes during the daytime. A word bubble pops up, and she says: "Hey, Stella." Up through this moment the music is understated, but on Gwen's arrival it flourishes. When they reach the bow of the ship there's some sort of green hooded figure which is replaced by Gwen in a glowing light. Stella and her cat run across the ship from left to right illuminated by an unseen light. The frame wipes to reveal a large ship on the open water around dawn. It says to the audience: "Sit back and relax." Nineteen seconds seems like an unthinkably long duration for an opening shot with virtually no action, but it beautifully sets the pace. I always encourage trailer makers to hook the audience as soon as possible here the beautiful art serves as the hook. A boat drifts into frame holding Gwen, a humanoid deer-like character, and Stella who is paddling the boat with her cat resting on her shoulder. The trailer opens on a beautiful scene of a red river and trees of a muted beige. By starting with the main characters already together, it begs the question: "What is the relationship between these characters?" She will initially appear as a tall figure wearing a red cloak. Gwen can be found standing on a platform on the side of a building. When this ends, you will appear in Alt Harbor. After you begin the game, there will be a cutscene where Charon tells you about begin a Spiritfarer. I think this is a good way to structure the story of a trailer because today's audiences don't have the patience for a slow reveal of what is happening (at least, not when they're not a captive audience). As mentioned earlier, Gwen is the first Spirit that you will meet. It uses the game loop as the story structure, and for a bit of dramatic tension it uses the end as the opening. The "Gwen Trailer" for the upcoming game Spiritfarer is notable for its quiet restraint, and telling a story by thinking of the game moments as scenes in a story.
