-A Long Way Down is a short, atmospheric linear adventure created alongside my friend Sam as a project for our FdA Games and Interactive Design degree. My role was art direction including the lighting, level design, and majority of asset creation for the project. This is the follow up project to our previous work: [Nightmare](#nightmare), and was made to be an evolutionary improvement of it. Currently the [demo](https://samandtroy.itch.io/alongwaydown) is available to download and play on Itch.io.

-This is my first attempt at combining footage from multiple different sources since I used both UE5 and Blender to create the two sequences. I used this piece as a way to experiment with various things I have never attempted before such as simple colour work and a lot of research into real-world cameras and emulating them in 3D. It was completed as part of my [UAL Level 3 Extended Diploma in Games and Interactive Media Year 2](https://www.arts.ac.uk/partnerships/ual-awarding-body/qualifications/creative-media/ual-level-3-diploma-and-extended-diploma-in-creative-media-production-and-technology) final major project.
