I am an aspiring narrative designer who dabbles in UE5 blueprints and 3D modelling when necessary. There is an element of level design and level structure while keeping story beats and level beats. I have created many titles on itch through game jams or uploaded other titles I worked on during my masters in 2021-22.

My interests in video games are walking simulators, Narrative exploration, and story-rich games are Druagen, Return of Obra Din, Dear Esther, and Everyone Gone to the Rapture. These titles have been an influence on the creation of Whaur Tae Fin' Nessie. I wanted to create a game based on my cultural myths & legends. 

Release & Platform

The Game is in development since the 6th of June 2022, and the duration will be four months. There is a polish schedule to take place one month after submissions to bring the best experience to the player. The game will be set for £15 upon release (Hypothetical price since this is a student project and in real-life will be set as a donation but otherwise free.) The game is set to be released on PC only and will be uploaded to itch, (Steam hypothetically for the business plan and future growth) at the aforementioned price. 

Description

Whaur Tae Fin' Nessie Skye is a narrative exploration game, based on the LochNess Monster and mystery exploration with some puzzle elements.

Skye arrives at LochNess from an overdue holiday in the big city. As she arrives at the family cabin, her uncle is nowhere to be seen in the cabin, with the door wide open. What happened to their uncle, and why did he go missing? Journey through LochNess to unlock its secrets. Skye's uncle has gone missing; did he perish? Is he fine? Find out in this story a tale as old as the Picts to the present. LochNess is a fable worth discovering.

Negative feedback

"The game needs some work because it is impossible to navigate through the level. Some key elements for the objectives are hard to see when the player is in the cabin."

Disclaimer 

The project is made by Mitch Mackay - all assets including music are found through you-tube, CGT trader, and turbo squid. Some models are made by me or modified by me. The majority are free royalty. I have said the project duration is one year and four months, but that is for my business plan and deleted once my university project is over. 

For me Section

I am proud of how this game turned out! I think it's the longest and most ambitious project I have done so far. I used what I've learned from September up to this point and that is the major reason why I went back to university.
