The game featured a main character and popup text when passing by signposts, effectively conveying the concept of a game-like environment. This provided an engaging and suitable demonstration of the concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kevingordon.org.uk\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3d-game.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kevingordon.org.uk\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3d-game.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.kevingordon.org.uk\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3d-game-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kevingordon.org.uk\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/3d-game-768x505.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving forward, I transitioned to building a 3D model in three.js, utilizing an environment HDRi and a 3D car model to create a simple interactive 3D car game. This expansion into the 3D realm added depth and interactivity to the digital offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the workshops progress, I will soon present these prototypes to the client. Following their feedback, I will refine and iterate on the concepts to ensure they align with the organization&#8217;s goals and requirements. Real-world testing will be conducted at a residential event, allowing us to gather valuable insights from the target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By combining my expertise in game development and interactive design, I am creating a proof of concept that enhances the organization&#8217;s engagement efforts. This digital element supplements their in-person work, providing a captivating and interactive experience for the youth they serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tech stack:&nbsp;<\/strong>JavaScript, Canvas, Three.js, Turbo Squid 3D models, HDRi environments<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A youth engagement organization sought a digital addition to their residential work.
