Exploring Environmental Storytelling in Creating a Game Environments

Environmental storytelling is one of my favourite aspects of video games. For my project, I wanted to create a game world that would be fun to explore and in which the player would work towards figuring out what had previously happened to have left the environment this way. My secondary focus was to progress my skills in game environment set-dressing, planning and creating game-ready props that look good and are optimised for efficiency within a game level.

Exploring Environmental Storytelling in Creating a Game Environments

The goal of this project was to create a captivating 3D game environment that would intrigue players and make them want to explore the world they are in.

Motivation

I wanted to work on my understanding of creating environmental storytelling and to get more experience working in a game engine.
