I want to give the player more visual interest so they have a reason to explore the … More Level Design
Mixed Reality (XR) talk. Dont just think of AR as one window, use sound, wearables (for motion) etc. Make a prototype before pitching so investors can already see you are working on it. Combine digital and physical objects into the same space. It is possible to make a mesh around a physical object to convert … More Moving Brands Lecture

This NPC is static and helps to guide you along your way; so they are an essential part of the vertical slice we are making. My task is to sketch the design, colour the character and create a turn around … More NPC Character Design
