Description

@tdq_13 Tumblr / Art Showcase Game is a work-in-progress project for artist tdq_13 that aims to create an interactive art showcase of their digital artworks.

"I'm experimenting with glitch art since 2021 . My inspiration is mostly the daily life and the mundane events that at first seem like nothing special but they can have deep philosophical meaning. I use mostly my photographs and distort them with different mobile apps and Notepad ++."

How is it working?

The game is built with custom web engine based on Three.js.
Engine currently supports 3D Rendering, Hierarchies, Components and GameCycles.

Melancholy of Marshmallow is an immersive game where players, as otherworldly entities, manipulate a marshmallow vessel to influence a diverse, conflicting world. The gameplay revolves around the struggle between preserving this world or aiding an extraspace creature in erasing it, with the quest for truth guiding the difficult decisions.

Full description

RE:Melancholy is a unique game featuring an array of characters, including yourself, the player. Your role diverges greatly from the others, as you exist outside this world, interacting with it only through a marshmallow avatar granted to you. This unexpected intrusion disrupts the marshmallow's life, inciting various conflicts that impact both its existence and the broader world. The game thrusts you into a recurring, enduring quest to shield this world from an extraspatial entity that seeks to erase its memory. Alternatively, you could join this entity in thwarting the efforts of another being striving to maintain the world's existence. Despite this seeming clarity, the decision is far from straightforward. To make an informed choice, you must uncover the realities of this paradoxical world.

Setting

The game immerses you in a beautifully crafted world where varying visuals merge effortlessly, bringing to life an impressive universe through Vaaston, the local magic, and unique character viewpoints. Starting in a late-medieval fantasy backdrop, the game then evolves, blossoming into a magical-industrial epoch, interspersing steampunk and sci-fi elements into its unfolding narrative, thereby enriching its mystery and depth.

About Vaaston

Vaaston is a potent, transformative, and infinite primordial energy pervading the universe, fueling its eternal recurrence, known as the Great Cycle. This unstable force can unpredictably interact with matter or antimatter in four ways: passing through without effect, pushing off, annihilating the object and itself, or unifying with it. The rarest and most potent is the unification, where Vaaston's infinite potential energy is converted into three times more matter. This unification process culminates in the formation of a Chronosphere, a sphere where time aligns with its own. Here, the growth of the unification point halts, and the fusion of past matter with future Vaaston occasionally gives rise to different matter types and, more rarely, living organisms. Through the infinite iterations of the Great Cycle, various life forms, including humans, elves, dwarfs, and fairies, have emerged, all powered by the cosmic dynamism of Vaaston.

Distributed Interface of Local Data Orchestration (DILDO), is a plug and use local networking solution, designed to be simple, expandable and solve basic networking tasks.
DILDO currently supports standalone usage and Unity Integration.

This project showcases my programming and artistic skills in creating a pixel art style using Unity's Universal Render Pipeline (URP). The focus was on replicating the aesthetics of pixel art through real-time shading and post-processing techniques applied to 3D models. Additional visual effects were incorporated to enhance the overall style, providing a unique blend of traditional pixel art with modern rendering capabilities. This work exemplifies the intersection of technical expertise and artistic vision.

This project demonstrates my capability to implement advanced rendering techniques using Unity's Scriptable Render Pipeline (SRP). It focuses on leveraging real-time ray tracing to achieve accurate reflections, refractions, and global illumination effects, providing a high level of visual realism. The implementation highlights my proficiency in working with cutting-edge graphics technology and creating visually compelling experiences. This work is a testament to my technical expertise in achieving sophisticated rendering results within a game engine.
