About the project

This project is a unique creation from BRGD (Brown-RISD Game Design), a club that convenes weekly, bringing together developers and designers from both Brown and RISD. Developed using Unity, this game stands out as one of the club's rare 3D first-person shooter (FPS) creations.

Role

My Responsibilities

I played a dual role within this project. Firstly, as part of the UI/UX designer team, I was responsible for crafting all gameplay screens and contributing to design systems and gameplay methods. Additionally, I was a key member of the 3D modeling and rendering team, where I created our environmental assets, assisted with rendering, and developed environmental textures

3D Assets

Hallway + Dual ascending escalators

The eternal hallway leads to an escalator asset that ascends to the second floor.

Logo + Typography
