HYPOXIA
Hypoxia is a multiplayer virtual reality card game where in order to outlive others, players must think strategically and sparingly. At the start of the round, each player is dealt a random hand of cards and must use a portion of their supply (oxygen). But be careful, betting results in a high risk high reward, and if you lose oxygen, you're eliminated.

My Responsibilities
My Responsibilities
Conceptualized and developed environment and character designs, establishing visual direction through early concept art.
Modeled and textured 3D props and character variants using Maya and Substance Painter.
Took ownership of implementing animations and VFX to enhance environmental storytelling and scene dynamics.
Art-directed final composition including set dressing, baked lighting, and post-processing to achieve a cohesive in-game presentation

Environment Modeling
Environment Modeling
Developed modular environment and visual assets from concept through engine implementation, keeping hardware performance in mind throughout the pipeline. The game centers on urgency and limited resources, so the environment was designed to feel tight, compact, and unsafe, reinforcing the idea of a factory that is hazardous for workers.
