Over my four years of Creative Digital Media, I have developed a wide range of invaluable skills. My Final Year Multimedia Project combines my love for animation and story-driven video games. "Waltz of the Wastes" is a video game demo created by a team of four, wherein the player character is controlled through playing notes on a musical instrument. My main roles were as writer of the games' story and designer of the overall style and character designs. I also did work on environment design, sprite sheets, animation and branding. The game is based on my original story and told through the method of environmental storytelling. I designed the characters in accordance with branding, storytelling and character design principles, so their designs could be used to effectively imply ideas about the narrative, while retaining an anonymity that allows players to expand on their stories and create their own ideas of who the characters are. I hope to go on to improve in proficiency in animation, design, illustration and game development.
