Breaking News is a video game based on how we envisioned the city of Göteborg in Sweden to become in 2050. We follow a journalist in Götebotg in her every day life and get a look at what has changed in the city.

The project assignment was to take a city in the world and speculate what it would look like in 2050. What are the changes in its relationship with nature. This should be based on things that are happening in the city now. We chose Göteborg, because it is the most sustainable city in the world. We wanted to see if the futurue could also be positive, instead of the negative one that people usually expect. We predicted that Göteborg would become greener and a lot of people would want to move there.

During the project I was tasked with (part of) the 3D modeling of the game. I built the buildings and the NPC's walking around Göteborg. I learned how to use Blender (and how frustrating Blender can be).

The funny thing is when we started to put everything together, I discovered I liked the programming of the game way more than 3D building. I helped out a lot with the game programming in Unity and loved it. I could really put my energy in that and work for hours on end without it getting boring.
