Project Description
Our team built a story-based exploration game containing puzzles. We named it Columbia after one of the early European names for America. Columbia, the Golden City, derives its themes from earlier games we used to play. It is a 3D exploration game in which the players learn about a well-developed fictional city, Columbia, while collecting relics and going on adventures. Each relic teaches the players about the different classes and cultures in a city imbued with many layers of history and intrigue.
