Synopsis
A game that integrates traditional media, including soft and oil pastels, watercolour, needle felting, ink, and block printing, to achieve an illustrated storybook feel and show how games can be utilised as a platform for traditional art and storytelling. This game takes on this challenge by exploring the story of a Mage sent on a quest to defeat a Kelpie, a monster from Scottish folklore, bringing it into a modern-day storytelling format inspired by traditional Scottish folktales. Let the adventure begin!
What motivated you to develop/create this project?
My love for art and the technical side of games! I wanted to explore how I can combine them both to show how traditionally drawn art can be used to create a video game.
What has been a highlight of your time at Abertay?
The journey, from learning the basics of a new software to completing a team led project. Everything in this course has taught me something that I will take forward into the industry.
What are your hopes and future ambitions for after graduation?
To continue to build on what I’ve learnt and to hopefully create my first solo game!
