Mariana concept game 2024
A game concept based on my personal project 'Mariana'. This was done as part of the 'Immersive Arts Bootcamp' held at Birmingham Open Media (BOM) in a timescale of 12 weeks as a result, it's only a proof of concept and not a finished product while learning the basics of Unreal Engine 5 and Blender.​

Game Story: ​
Based in the same setting as my webcomic Interconnected, you play as Crown Princess Lokalie (Loki) of Loka; prior to the royal ball you can explore around the palace but things are not what they seem...
UI Elements: ​

Blender Work​
A gallery of all of the 3D Models I created for the game. I did also attempt character modelling and sculpting, it's inclusion in the demo is as a statue as there was just so much I wanted to try during the boot camp.
​​​Character Models
This project uses Sims 4 character models customised to resemble my characters, this allowed me to use the models in a way they have never been seen before. ​
The playable character needed retargeting to Mixamo animations.​
​​​Concept Art
​I used the original concept artwork made for my Webtoon comic 'Interconnected' as a starting point for the characters. Thomas does not appear in game but his absence is one of the mysteries alluded to.
To visualise the 3D space and scaling of the palace I built a layout concept in the Sims 4 based off of my artwork concepts.
