Αἰαία Vertical Slice (2025)

Vertical slice of my upcoming Senior Capstone game: Αἰαία. With references to both classical art and literature, the creation of characters and environmental dressing for this game have a basis in the historical narrative record. A two month production time, this was wrapped up for our program's Showcase December 2nd, 2025. My role in this project was the co-Lead, Director, and Art Director.
This project has been made in collaboration with Victoria Farrell, Anna Stevenson, Isa Wezey, Jonah Howell, Cameron Willis, and Ty Morris, with outside help from Dawson Turska, Cirrus Reynolds, Isabel Strick, and Kevin McGhee.
