​

This presentation (video opposite) is the result of the "Best of the Best" project, started at the end of May 2021 for a presentation in mid-September 2021. The goal was to present the way we wanted a game that the we loved. We first had to make a One Page Document presenting what we had planned for the presentation (photo in the gallery opposite) then prepare the presentation.

So we did a scripted presentation with costumes of the main characters from NieR: Automata and with Unity, recreating the hacking mini-game present in the game.

We both wrote the script for the presentation but I took care of most of the programming for the game and the integration of all the lines of dialogue and most of the sounds. I also took care of most of the shaders present.

The "slides" and the majority of the animations were made by my collaborator.  

For the robotic voice, we asked for the help of a Sound Designer who let us record our voices and then modify them to have a robotic voice effect.

​

We spent a lot of time on this project but it went very well overall and we are both very proud of what we have produced.
