CAPTAIN COOK: DEAD RECKONING

Captain Cook: Dead Reckoning (2023) was designed and developed as part of an internship with XR Stories in York, in collaboration with the Captain Cook Memorial Museum in Whitby. 
As an intern development team, myself, Poppy Fynes, Quinn McMahon and Marco Ng collaborated closely with the museum team to iterate and develop a high-fidelity game prototype that was both educational and fun.
My personal responsibilities included designing a set of 2D tiles and UI elements for the game's map, as well as writing short narrative snippets and quiz questions based on facts and information provided by the museum.
