A downloadable scene.

Level Design / Environmental Storytelling school project (2020). The purpose was to build a scene around a waterfall that would communicate a feeling, in my case, sadness. I achieved this humanizing the waterfall and building a short story behind her, as well as tuning sound effects and environment for maximum effect.

Solo project made by me, Valerio Marty Rodríguez, with special thanks to:

  • Lamp and lamp pole by classmate Pedro Yagüe Sánchez
  • Sky based on Jannik's procedural sky

This was completely breath-taking. In every way possible. The sounds in this game and the graphics were just so amazing. The rays from all the light sources and then the trees breaking them into rays.. It was just a phenomenal experience. The piano notes (I think they were piano at least) and the soft rain white noise was just... So peaceful and added so much to the mood and vibe of the game. (Video below if anyone wants to watch!!)

The deep meaning and metaphors behind the carefully placed flowers, lanterns, the broken shack and the crying girl like looking rock was really impressive. Really, it was amazing to see what an impact of meaning you made with extremely minimal things. 

(I might have initially had the wrong idea for the meaning behind the bridge, but after editing my video, I more believe that it might be to do with a flood or sudden monsoon season that took the lives of people on the bridge as well as the people in the shack. And the symbolism of the crying girl can either be the multitude of people being sad at the same time, one person or Gaea herself. The red coloured water going to blue might indicate the deaths become a part of the nature around them? Or might just be hot water becoming cold (Or just me over looking into things again.))

Again, this game was simply and absolutely amazing and I am so glad I found it and played it! Great job on it; it was a stunning piece of work, loved the piano, the rain and the amazing look and feel of the game!


P.S; Sorry I broke your game.. I was looking for an end to it and went to places I shouldn't have..

Your emotional reaction is exactly what I set up to do when I started this little project. I am really glad you liked it, thank you!
