Go For a Punch is my indepedent study turned passion project, the game's narrative follows the story of a group of DJ’s that find out they can use the power of music to restore nature.
I aim to create a 3D rhythm game, applying my practice in digital art and design to develop an original and insightful piece of video game art. My goal for this project was to create a Video game “Slice” or prototype that will showcase the main mechanics and establish an aesthetic for my game.

This very early prototype focuses on the character, Chaka: who is a college student passionate about conservation biology and DJing. she dreams of blending music and nature to inspire environmental awareness. Her journey leads her to an abandoned botanical garden.
Although this game is in an incredibly early state, this demo incorporates the base mechanics of the game, as well as my ability to incorporate 3D modeled and rigged characters into a Unity Project, including animations!
"In a world surrounded by environmental decay due to climate change and political turmoil, four young, bored college students come across an abandoned warehouse. They find old blueprints for high-tech gauntlets that, when used correctly, can use the power of music to restore nature. The characters who are underground DJs by night, soon discover their powers and must use their music to bring the world back to life. Along the way, they’ll face obstacles like industrial ruins, corrupted zones, and corporate shills that threaten their progress. The game’s narrative unfolds as players complete different stages, restoring lush green landscapes and battling against the world's current climate crisis."
The game uses a keyboard and mouse to play!
