The Bus Stop


OverviewThe Bus Stop is an interactive 3D simulation experience about the lethargic state of daydreaming. In this world, you are waiting for a bus that seems to never come. Eventually, you wander and start imagining things and feel immersed into a dream-like state, entertaining yourself by exploring the world around you. RoleGame Designer, 3D Modeller

CourseInteractive Animation Course at UCLA taught by Jenna Caravello.

Scope3D Modeling (Blender), Character Rigging, Game Design (Unity), Worldbuilding








All the characters in this game were inspired by real travelers I had met while waiting at bus stops. Sometimes they obnoxiously chew gum, or have noise-cancelling headphones that could somehow still be heard from a ten-foot distance. Or perhaps you stumble upon ducks who are photographers, or fish that quack, or radishes that flambuoyantly spin in circles. Anything is possible in this world!







For the bus shelter design, I drew inspiration from the famous Lundberg bus shelter design seen all across my hometown, San Francisco. My version of the bus shelter features a transparent top panel for weather protection, benches to provide a comfortable place to sit, and side panels with various fake advertisements.
