MNEMONIC - VR Game/Experience (2022)

This project was created as part of the curriculum at the Animation Institute of the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. In a team we had the task to develop a short film and an associated game, where the focus was on the development of an IP.

In the world we invented, the sun is frozen and destroyed by asteroids. Fragments fell to earth, where life has changed drastically since then. In our game you can immerse yourself in the icy environment and put yourself in the shoes of the main character, Ivo. Ivo's goal is to collect the broken sunstones and put them back together. In the process, you'll be able to look at luminous cave paintings and discover the beautiful side of the world. It is a mixture of a VR game and a VR experience.

In order to understand Ivo's relation to the sunstones better, you can have a look at our short film: https://www.therookies.co/entries/20304

Asset Modeling

We modeled the hero assets in ZBrush. For the landscape and the icicles we used procedural systems in Houdini. For further level dressing we used a variety of unreal engine market place assets and adjusted them to fit in our world.
