Students had to create a simple 2D platform game based on a story using Unreal Engine. They must create pixel character animations and assets to incorporate in their game. Game assets include background elements, props, and a collectable.

For this project, I developed a game based on the following synopsis:

"The game features Indigo, a young boy with no memory of his past, who experiences a heartfelt journey. Born from a family of wise mortal wizards, Indigo is one-of-a-kind. He holds an origin of human and spirit ancestry and was created exclusively from magic. Sadly, a tragedy wipes out his family and all life, leaving him alone in an abandoned forest. But because he is an immortal being, he experiences the forest rebuild itself through the millennia. Moved by Indigo's sadness, the spirits of the forest, taking on the roles of his family, support him.  

 

Following the events of the forest destruction, young Indigo is lost and needs help to get back home. As Indigo, you’ll navigate the barren forest, dodge broken obstacles, collect berries for energy, and find vibrant flowers. Offer these flowers to the Grand Forest Spirit, who promises to show Indigo the way home. The game offers an emotional journey as Indigo faces challenges, uncovers hidden memories, and builds a connection with the forest and its spirits. Can Indigo find his way and rediscover his past?"
