Stories from the Event Horizon is a winning entry in the Young Creative Awards Nottingham 2025 Animation & Digital Media 19-24 category!

“Stories from the Event Horizon” is a groundhog, time loop game with an emphasis on an intractable narrative. The game takes place on a spaceship designed to unlock the mysteries of black holes. A catastrophic failure occurred, causing the ship to be consumed, lost beyond the black hole’s event horizon. All hope was lost, until a tech support representative received a call from a member of the crew. You are part of a story being recounted in an inquiry by the tech support representative. Your goal is to explore a plethora of different and sometimes comical endings by following orders from the tech support representative to escape the doomed ship and time loop. I have created custom shaders and utilized clever level design tricks to create a non-Euclidean spaceship layout. My favourite part of the project was seeing the final blackhole physics simulation in engine for the first time.

This project has seen a step up in my production capabilities. I have created all aspects of this project including the music, sound effects, models, textures, and code, all to a realistic standard, in house. I have not had to source any resources from online.
