A downloadable game

Description

Essence is a 2.5D puzzle platform gameplay demo, set in a dystopian future that is overcome by pollution and the consumption of the natural world. The demo follows a fox-like creature as it tries to survive and escape the dangerous environment that it finds itself in.

This project is part of a DES410: HonoursProject module and was made in Unreal Engine 5 and focused on studying level design as well as focusing on environmental narration and its inclusion within the gameplay and design of the game.

Special Thanks

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my Project Supervisor and Lecturer, Hailey Austin, whose patience, guidance and intangible support helped shape and refine my honours degree project. No matter the outcome of this year’s study I will always be grateful for the knowledge and expertise you shared with me.

Lastly, I would be remiss in not mentioning my family, especially my Mum and Dad, for the emotional - and continued - support they have given me. They have believed in me from my very first moments and their love and support has been prevalent in my final year of university.
