-A Long Way Down is a short, atmospheric linear adventure created alongside my friend [Sam](https://samgriffiths.dev) 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. It 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 the environment I created in collaboration with Sam Griffiths for our Unit 8 - Developing a Creative Media Production Project - Final Major Project which concluded 2021-04-21. I was in charge of the art side of the project including asset production, composition, and lighting although we both helped one another out when necessary with blueprints etc. Additionally, I created this short cinematic in Unreal Engine's cinematic level sequencer by keyframing the transform values and focus distance of a camera.

-The outcome I went into this project expecting was that I would produce an environment made entirely from scratch which I could create a short test virtual production shot in utilising a motion capture camera rig and live keying. Later I would then properly composite the two bits of footage together. All of the elements of this goal are presented here but sadly due to a data corruption issue, they were not able to be presented in a combined state. **The project is presented in the state it was upon the university deadline and is listed as incomplete.**
