With Hearts Aglow - 3D Game
About:
'With Hearts Aglow' is a 3D game with 2D characters that was originally created in 48 hours by 4 students during Texas A&M University's 2023 Chillenium Game Jam. The theme for this game jam was "we share a heart." Our concept for this game was that the player could toggle between two characters who are each other's "other half."
My Role:
• Modeling | Modeled the modular road assets and all assets in the parks
• Texturing | Textured the modular road assets and all assets in the parks
• Level Design | Mapped out the entire level in UE5
• Set Dressing | Set dressed the road assets and buildings, as well as the prop assets such as the street lamps,
street signs, and benches on the map
• Programming | Helped with various mechanics including calculating the distance between players, updating
the UI based on distance, and toggling the hearts on the map based on which character is active.
Additionally, I updated the original player camera from being a set camera to a free moving camera
controlled by the mouse and adjusted the movement input accordingly.
