STORY
A space station is destroyed by an unknown entity.
A lone survivor is trying to reach an asylum on a mysterious planet...
The Shadow is short, but immersive journey through uncharted space.
Behind the scenes
Why The Shadow is Unique?
The Shadow visuals were made entirely in Unreal Engine 4, a game engine.
Most of its assets were prepared for my other project, ArgoNavis -
an adventure game for fulldome projections.
Whole graphic process was done by one person.
The biggest challenge of the project was to adjust a game engine
to fulldome production requirements - big resolutions, fisheye image.
About the author
I am Asia, student of Game Design on University of Silesia, Poland.
I am interested in both graphics and science-fiction since childhood.
Now is the time to connect these two passions into something creative and new.
In graphics, I focus mainly on animation, texturing and engine using
(mainly for level design and cutscenes).

Hosting expenses
07/25/17
Due to higher hosting costs, The Shadow and Melancholia now available after a paypal donation
As long as The Shadow was my single animation, I could afford cloud hosting on google drive (1st tier, 100 GB capacity, 8,99 PLN). Now Melancholia and The Shadow weigh together about 160 GB, which costs about 13 USD per month to host the data.
Because of that I have to ask you for a donation, before I send you cloud link. Other methods of download (giving pendrive, ftp service) are still available for free.
