Inspiration
I am inspired by classic science fiction literature, movies, and games that spark my imagination and guide me in creating my science fiction world. Science fiction is often a vehicle for exploring complex social, political, and ethical issues. My games are inspired by the desire to explore and comment on contemporary issues through a futuristic lens. I was also inspired by Mr. Michael Wersheim Beresin, a talented 3D artist, and I used his 3D characters as robots for my projects.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2022 in the Bay Area and finished in March 2024 in Martinez.
