A Clean, Well-Lighted Place was my senior thesis project while at the University of Michigan School of Art & Design. The piece is a digital, interactive storybook about a lonely boy named Gus who lives on an intergalactic telephone station. At a certain point in the story, Gus needs your help, by sending him text messages to charge his spaceship.
The piece took seven months to create, including concept creation, basic programming, extensive 3D modeling and animating, and optimizing for the web.
The project is viewable at www.helpg.us More details about the creation can be found on my blog, or my final written thesis.
