Synopsis
Inis Fraoigh is an autobiographical game about my grandmother's island and looking back on how important she was in shaping me into the women I am today. I used Unreal Engine 4 and I collaborated with two amazing audio designers to replicate music and ensure the game feel matches how I feel on the isle.
Through Inis Fraoigh, I wanted to showcase the skills I have gained and what I have learned during my time studying at Abertay.
Motivation
Memories of my grandmother and the isle, I wanted to create a interactive setting that not only my family could visit to feel closer to the isle but people who had no relation to any of my memories could play the game and feel welcomed on it.
Originally it started off as a project I quickly had to finish due to a high intensity job outwith university in my second year and being able to go back to it over the last two years really made me want to give it justice with the skills I gained throughout my years of game design and collaboration since I managed to get my friend on board with the project as she will be doing the audio design for this.
