In our five-member degree project, we aim to explore how to digitally emulating claymation using 3D animation and programming within the realm of 3D game development. Our project experimented with techniques for creating digital claymation assets and animations while investigating how gameplay mechanics can be adapted to complement and amplify the claymation visuals. We also aim to uncover methods to explore how gameplay mechanics can be adapted and optimized to complement and enhance the claymation visuals, ultimately delivering a cohesive and immersive gaming experience.

R:EON

R:EON was made by 4 people for a production thesis that researches the communication of narrative through environment and architecture in a fast-paced first-person game. Developed in Unreal Engine 5, it features a fast-paced chase where the player must escape the ever-present threat of an abstract creature. The gameplay revolves around precision-based platforming and quick thinking. Visually, it relies heavily on post-processing and particles to create a unique visual style. The environment draws inspiration from brutalist architecture and its design philosophy centered around a lack of individualism. The narrative centers on escaping a world previously inhabited by a society controlled by a totalitarian government and retrieving a powerful artifact to open a gate to freedom. The design goal of the game is to induce anxiety and stress through semi-distorted visuals and a sense of insignificance and melancholy through the scale and connotation of the environment.
