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.
Operation Flow: Operation/Flow/Interaction: Players navigate Opurgimize's menu to access game modes. They customize characters and loadouts. During gameplay, they interact with the environment, NPCs, and other players using standard controls. The flow seamlessly transitions between exploration, combat, and story-driven events for an immersive experience across platforms.
