about this project

In this school project, our team created an educational game that narrates the fascinating life cycles of penguins through the adventures of Ivo, a charismatic penguin character. The STORY of the game is inspired by authentic penguin life events., SUCH AS BIRTH AND PREDATORS. This game was crafted using a blend of traditional and digital artistic methods. Initially, our illustrations were hand-drawn, capturing the essence of the Antarctic environment and its inhabitants with a touch of authenticity. These analog creations were later enhanced and digitized using laptops, with final touches and additional elements like penguins and text overlays added in Photoshop. 

“Ivo’s Journey” is designed as an interactive experience where players embody the emotions of Ivo the pEnguin, such as anger, happiness, and adventurousness. The players have to make crucial decisions at key points in his life. Each choice leads to different outcomes, weaving unique stories that unfold new aspects of penguin life and survival. The game culminates in players compiling their own unique narratives into a keepsake booklet, preserving the various paths they explored.
