Trucy Carlisle is second heiress to the Nwaeri-Carlisle Corporation. After a torrid fight with her aggressive and frequently apathetic father Robert Carlisle, she’s kidnapped off the streets by the Glass Rose. After being told that her father refused to pay her ransom by their leader Marcellus, she joins the Glass Rose to spite her father and help the rebels steal a device known as the Bio-encryption Key.

You play as Trucy and navigate her through escaping the bonds of the Glass Rose and the heist of the Nwaeri-Carlisle Tower. While doing so, your relationship with your father and mysterious Marcellus hangs in the balance, and not all is as it seems.

Part one of the Terminus storyworld, On Stained Glass, available to play here. Part two, At All Costs, written by Mitchell Phillip.

Tree Hill is a single scene made in Unity, where you walk along a large sphere of a world. You encounter a ghost, made up of stars, and follow it to the other side of the world. Using realistic lighting and atmosphere, you see the sky turn from noon to dusk to night as you travel along to the other side of the sphere following this mysterious ghost.

It utilizes HDRP’s advanced lighting to create the gorgeous effects and light rays filtering through the trees, while using Visual Effects Graph to create the particles that make up the mysterious ghost.

TuneTable is an interactive tangible tabletop experience in which users can collaboratively create sample-based music compositions using computer science coding concepts. The experience is designed to broaden perceptions of CS, encourage interest formation in CS, and facilitate learning of some introductory computing concepts. The TuneTable design team has explored a variety of different design iterations for the installation.

Xylocode is the most recent iteration of TuneTable. Due to COVID-19, the design team explored how to implement the project in an online web app that could eventually be converted to a tangible tabletop installation. You can play with Xylocode here.

Showcased at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry, April 2022

The idea behind this project is to create a multiplayer collaborative maze. One player draws on a canvas to indicate a path that the second player should take through the maze, using landmarks on the image to guide the way.
