A Long Way Down is a short, atmospheric linear adventure created alongside my friend Sam as a project for our FdA Games and Interactive Design degree. My role was art direction including the lighting, level design, and majority of asset creation for the project. This is the follow up project to our previous work: Nightmare, and was made to be an evolutionary improvement of it. Currently the demo is available to download and play on Itch.io.

Nightmare

This is the environment I created in collaboration with Sam Griffiths for our Unit 8 - Developing a Creative Media Production Project - Final Major Project which concluded 2021-04-21. I was in charge of the art side of the project including asset production, composition, and lighting. Additionally, I created this short cinematic in Unreal Engine’s cinematic level sequencer by keyframing the transform values and focus distance of a camera.
