Technical Game Design.
Realism imitates reality.
Hyperrealism supersedes reality by being more coherent,
more emotionally legible, or more “truE” than reality itself.
Tomorrow is a hyperreal game
A diverse set of technical requirements and a hyperreal narrative make Tomorrow an interesting case study and showcase of how engineering can act as a medium, as well as a means to a commercial end.
I’m a founder and Designer with roots in Computer Science and UX design. After three years leading a start-up to Enterprise Ireland funding, now expanding technical game design and immersive world-building expertise inside Unreal Engine, committed to creating experiences that go far beyond what is expected of them, then a little bit further again.
