Viking Voyage

Game Description

This game, Viking Voyage, was made as a university assignment project. It was my first time using Unity and coding and creating assets for a 3d video game. The ocean dome around and below the ship is supposed to feel looming and treacherous, much like the ocean in real life. The sky is realistically bright and cloudy to show the beauty of the natural sky.

The assets, models and textures are created to be simple but effective for a first indie game. The ship and barrel models were made with BlockBench and textured with the same colours and low-poly forms, so they looked like they were cut from the same cloth.

When playing Viking Voyage, the aim is to use the arrow keys to control your ship along the narrow stretch of ocean and choose whether to get to the other end avoiding the barrels all together, or you can attempt to knock all of the barrels off the edge of the strip! Sail through the visually striking ocean that looms below you and see the mountains and sky rise around you.
