A S A B O V E is a Video Game Vignette created in Unity (HDRP) as a conceptual exercise in order to explore a multitude of skills required in Video Game development. During this independent study, under the guidance of Jose Sanchez, architect, and game developer, I began studying modes of representation in immersive, computational environments. This also included more technical aspects of studying different systems and tools inside of Unity and commonly found in other game engines as well, this included tools like C#, Shader Graphs, Kit-bashing, Volumetric Environment development, Quixel (Texturing & Materials) Lighting, Cinematography, Character Animation, and more. Apart from the task of learning and proficiently using Unity, the vignette, itself, is a commentary on the detriments of hyper-capitalism, and the loss of identity.
