3D Asset Creation – Church & Environment

During the early stages of development, I focused on creating office-style assets to fit the game's original vision. However, after the project pivoted to center around the church setting, I shifted my focus to designing environmental assets that reinforced the themes of memory, trauma, and surrealism. My goal was to craft a space that felt grounded yet emotionally charged, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the narrative.

📌 Design Challenges & Solutions:
✅ Adapting to the project’s shift: The initial office-style assets had to be repurposed or discarded as the game moved toward a church setting.
✅ Establishing a cohesive environment: The transition required a redefinition of the architectural style and the creation of new assets, such as the church benches and coffin.
✅ Enhancing symbolic storytelling: Engravings and ornaments were added to the church benches to subtly reinforce the game’s themes of grief and memory.
✅ Integrating interactive destruction mechanics: Breakable elements, such as shatterable windows and a collapsing floor, were designed to add a dynamic, emotional climax to the scene.

The shift in direction allowed me to apply environmental storytelling principles, ensuring that the level’s atmosphere, props, and layout worked together to enhance the narrative experience.
