2.Project Description

Merry Crisis imagines the future of jellyfish and the ocean environment under the current context of jellyfish bloom. This interactive experience encourages players to explore the traditionally-painted ocean and connect with the evolved jellyfish in order to have a better understanding of the jellyfish crisis.

With this VR experience, I have attempted to simulate the Chinese hand-painted art style of traditional ink and watercolour for the landscape, converting it from fine art to Virtual Reality. This creates a sense of conflict between the conventional Chinese landscape and the contemporary style of the psychedelic jellyfish.

In terms of gameplay, the player can easily hover their controller to get a variant of jellyfish, but they need to grab a bottle to throw towards them to unlock the other variant, which echoes the action done by humans to the ocean in real life.
