Student projects are added irregularly and in no particular order. These are projects stretching back to 2002, from students in their 1st, 2nd and 3rd year and using vastly different tech. Thus; we recommend you use the tag cloud to the right to filter the projects you’re interested in!

In Shifting Sands, the player takes on the role of a captive that has been forced into gladiatorial combat. It is set in an alternate ancient Rome where a source of energy has been discovered and is being used to power a new form of technology. It has been found that this technology can be applied not only to improve infrastructure and society, but also people. Gladiators are being experimented on, and the now even deadlier games is the most popular form of entertainment.
Prepare for challenging combat in a dynamic arena that changes for every encounter in this difficult, single player boss-rush game.
Developed in unity, and best experienced when played with a controller.
Leviathan is a first-person narrative-driven 3D adventure-puzzle game. Explore a surreal world and solve environmental challenges in order to discover more of this strange world, and of the creatures that infect it.

As you step out of your friend’s house, the night air chills you to the bone. Your heart races as you realize the street is empty and silent. The only light is the flickering of a nearby streetlamp. You have just watched a horror movie with a friend, and now you are on your own. Your goal is simple: find your way home. As you navigate through the gothic town, the darkness seems to swallow you whole. Let the light guide you to safety.
All the way home is a 3D horror survival game for PC, set in an autumn night in a town built up by cobblestone streets, gothic architecture, and a dark, foggy atmosphere. As the playable protagonist, you are a small child wandering through the night with the goal of coming home safely. The more the shadows hit you, the more surreal and hostile the world become. To survive, you must manage your resources carefully, including stamina, flashlight battery, and clarity. The town changes dynamically based on your clarity level, adding an extra layer of challenge to your journey.
All the way home was created by Tenebris using Unity 3D game engine, Blender for the graphics, Plastic SCM as our version control, Jira as our planning tool, and F-mod for sound and music. We modified free assets to create a unique soundscape that immerses you in the game’s terrifying world.
Will you make it All the way home?
