Winter
My first prototype and experience with creating a 3D game. The task was to create a walking simulator containing autobiographic elements. Up until this point i have never worked with any form of 3D creation tools, like Blender or Unreal which were mainly used for this project.

I wanted to combine 2 elements together. My love for winter scenes and the fact that i play piano since I was a little child. To do that I choose to let the player walk on top huge piano tiles, which on contact play notes from the classical piece Winter by Vivaldi. I was playing the piece at that time myself and I found it quite fitting for a winter scene. I tried to match the tone of the music to the environment by using effects like fog and Niagara snow which where spawned on specific notes.
Ideation
This projects was quite challenging, since i had to learn so many new things in just 3 months. Seeing it come to life bit by bit and trying out so many things was what initially sparked my interest in creating games. I learned 3D modeling, creating trees and rocks, implementing it inside unreal and came into contact with really basic Blueprint logic such as overlap events.
