How can we visualise the internet? An abstract space that we inhabit everyday?
This project explores our relationship with the internet and how to visualise such an abstract space in a fun and engaging way through character and environment design. The internet is non-physical; however, it is interconnected to us. Despite its intangible nature, it is of significant importance and has similar interactions to those in our physical social space.
To visualise such relationship with cyberspace, the game asks the player to wander around on the internet as an AI, exploring different corners of cyberspace and different AI characters.
