MAKING OF NAUTILUS EPOCH

THE WORLD OF NAUTILUS EPOCH WAS MADE FROM HUNDREDS OF HANDPAINTED WATERCOLOUR ILLUSTRATIONS WHICH WERE SCANNED AND ANIMATED.

​

THE GOAL WAS TO CREATE A GAME THAT HOLDS THE ELEMENT OF WATER WITHIN IT AND WHICH ALLOWS PLAYERS TO EXPERIENCE ITS AESTHETICS THROUGH PLAY.

​

IT MARKS A VERY UNIQUE AND PERSONAL APPROACH TO GAME DEVELOPMENT IN THE AGE OF AI AND EVER INCREASING POLLUTION CREATED BY THE GAMES INDUSTRY.
