ROLE
Experience Designer and Developer
"When we dream we do not know that we are dreaming. Only after waking up do we realize that we have dreamed. But there comes a great awakening, and then we know that life is a great dream.”
Visual Style
Under The Moon is an exploration of using Quill to produce a Chinese watercolor style environment.
Narration
The storyline is inspired by the story written by Zhuangzi, a Chinese philosopher.
Once upon a time, I, Zhuangzi, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of following my fancies as a butterfly, and was unconscious of my individuality as a man. Suddenly, I awaked, and there I lay, myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly there is necessarily a barrier. The transition is called Metempsychosis.
