Synopsis
An environment that instils feelings of nostalgia in the player as well as telling a narrative through spatial design and prop placement. Using technical theory, as well as art theory, to tell a story through an environment and subtext in Unreal Engine 5. The environment is stylized using shaders and post-processing in blueprints, with assets created in Blender and Substance Painter. Taking inspiration from other games that explore heavy themes of nostalgia, this project aims to display a memory through rose-tinted glasses.
Credits
'Nostalgia and Narrative in 3D Environments ' is a 2023 Digital Graduate Show project by Emily "Amelia" Wood, a Games Design and Production student at Abertay University.
Project Motivation
I have a lot of experience creating environments that are semi-realistic, so I wanted to explore the route of doing something more stylized. I also love creating warmth and comfort through spaces in any way possible, hence why I wanted to create a space that makes others feel the same way.
