Reefquest (Discontinued)

  • Company: Pillows Willow VR (PW XR)
  • Role: Internship Gameplay Programmer
  • Start Date: '17
  • Engine: Unity

In Reefquest, set in the same universe as Pillow’s Willow – VR studio’s succesful ‘Spark of Light’, you play as a girl in a blue onesie on a quest to clean the ocean pollution. Using your sea-creature friends, which all have their own unique mechanics and meaningful interactions, you become more aware about the actual state of sea pollution in a playful and engaging way. Reefquest is a vertical slice of the final game which is still in development.

Before the project got replaced by the Active Esports Arena from PW XR I worked on some gameplay prototyping and environmental actions and interactables.
