Lux

Lux is the protector of information who’s always kept Ignos in check. But after waking from a long slumber, he finds Ignos to be spreading misinformation all over the internet. Lux doesn’t know what the internet is, so he needs help from the players to stop Ignos.

Ignos and his eggs

Ignos is a spreader of chaos, he gains power through spreading fake news and making others doubt themselves.

The eggs are little babies which he spawns all over the world. They do nothing but spouting nonsense.

Hackshield in de Klas

HackShield in de Klas are quests with dedicated subjects, which teachers can play with children in their classroom. I worked on the quest that is about Disinformation.

What did I do?

For this project I created most of the 3D models and designs for the characters. I also animated them.

I’ve worked on these two projects for approximately two months.

Production

The game engine we used was Unity.
