Hello everyone.

I am proud to show you all a preview of my graduation project "Project Animus: De Cananefaten.
A 3D environment based on archeaological data from Dutch professors and archives.
This serious game goes further then a normal reconstruction because it shows the player in a short story mode how the people of the Netherlands lived and thought in that age (73 AD) under the romans. While most Reconstructions only show how that age looked like.

The Cananefaten is an ancient west-germanian tribe that lives on the coasts of the netherlands.Well known for their horses and auxiliary from the reports of Tacitus. They are the close brothertribe of the infamous horselords “The Batavians”.
These tribese are the direct ancestors of dutch people.

The Location where this reconstruction is based on is an area in the Netherlands “Midden-Delfland”. Just south of a village named “De Lier”

This whole project is for learning purpose only and my graduation. I hope you all like it

Tried it out. It’s an interesting use of Unity :slight_smile: Can’t really offer any critique as it’s unclear what you’re going to school for, so I’m not sure what would be appropriate.

The look and overall atmosphere in the scene is very nice (the music and ambient sounds fit very well), and i really liked the way the shallow river / grass blended together. The level of detail inside the buildings was nice too. There where a few lighting anomalies i spotted here and there, but no nothing to be majorly concerned about.

Overall pretty good, hope it gets you a nice grade.

its Game design and development. One of the learning goals for this project was to create a believable. cohesive authenthic 3D environment. So i am graduating as an Artist/Level Artist.

And its my first environment in Unity :3
