Title: “Revolt”

Ever wanted to play something that could give you a type of blood rush that brings in your inner child? This is exactly my goal here: Stapling a memorable experience. People at a younger age always had an influence that shaped their interests today, or holds a special place in their heart; whether it looks atrociously bad or very good, it is what happens in a game that should help influence how gamers think today. I used my own characters to create a sample of what such an experience would be like; much can be taken from just a trailer itself.

Resubmission

For this project, I decided to produce abstract imagery that is not referencing to anything I know from the actual world that I have been exposed to, thus not “tainting” my memory of the imagined space. My creative process is based on the oral stories and descriptions of my father’s homeland (El Salvador) that I heard when growing up. Having never visited his birthplace, I rely heavily on my father’s memories of his homeland and feel this ever-present disconnection from it. Having no physical experience of it, I create my own association and construct a dreamscape of how I imagine El Salvador it to be. In the end, the dreamscape I created shows that even with those passed down oral memories, the landscape I produce will always be abstract and distorted, showing my disconnection and confusion with the homeland.

Jason Astorga & Jack O’Donnell - Outlet For many gamers, gaming is the best part of their life. Normal life can be boring and a chore. But once you got home, you could finally live and have a good time. In Jason’s half of the game, we start our character out in a abandoned town, where his goal is to get home to his gaming battle station. Once the character enters the computer, you get transported to Jack's scene, where the main character’s goal is to just play the game. No to do lists, no objective. Just play the game.

The Search Continues gives the player a singular directive to insure survival, “locate a water source.” While exploring and searching things are not as they seem; with transparency, opacity and illusion the player can search infinitely to complete their one and only goal. Time is both relevant and irrelevant, as is ones objective.

The Video to “Valued”

Hana Pecanin

Game Final: VALUED

Valued is a game about being a voyeur and making a small but grand decision on how far you are willing to support a friend by constantly visiting them. We, as humans, tend to become emotionally drained after we try our hardest to support someone we love, whether we recieve support in return or not. Always have a middle ground and know when to take care of yourself, otherwise your body will just become lifeless

Retour

Amy and Carla

The power of friendship is amazing. How much we are willing to go for others, just to be with them. Separation and reunion does not have to be just for people.

I wanted to create something where the player just unintentionally finds an environment that is the complete opposite of where they are. Game Description: Player is running through the forest and accidentally stumbles upon a mysterious portal. Walking through the portal transports player to Viola's Sanctuary: a mystifying place to rest and heal. Explore the depths of the serene and enchanting environment before heading back to battle.

Down the Rabbit Hole

Let’s fall through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. This game has a narrative course and structure, characters and imagery which is based off Alice In Wonderful especially in the fantasy genre. Can you make it through the deep abstracted path and find the light at the end of the hole…?

George Cepeda

The title of this project is Always Ascending. It is named after a song by the artist Franz Ferdinand but shares none of the themes of the song. The idea of the game is to show the struggle of life and the many people encountered along the way. The objective is to make to the top, hence the title Always Ascending.

Class Project Number 3

Ross Acquah

The title of this project is called “empty” and serves as a visual, and three dimensional metaphor on the idea of how being hollow, or empty (represented by the lack of people) is usually made up of for with riches and expensive purchases (The fancy cars, the expensive neighborhoods, and the pricey apartments).
