NIHON LEGACY

Cultural Exploration App

Nihon Legacy is a cultural exploration application developed in Unreal Engine, focused on the interactive discovery of iconic Japanese sites.

 

Designed for mobile and VR platforms, the project features real-time optimized 3D environments combining faithful reconstruction, storytelling, and intuitive user interaction.

 

Through this project, I aim to make Japanese heritage accessible in an immersive and educational way, blending artistic direction, technical performance, and user experience.

MEIJIJINGU

Real-Time Cultural Reconstruction

This project is a real-time recreation of Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo,
developed in Unreal Engine and built from on-site photographic references.

The shrine was fully modeled from scratch, with a strong focus on architectural accuracy, lighting, and atmosphere.

This project represents the first iteration of my work on Japanese cultural heritage and directly led to the creation of Nihon Legacy.

MINIMAL MOVE

Indie Puzzle Game — Game Direction & Art

Minimal Move is an indie puzzle game released on PC and Nintendo Switch in 2021. I led the project as game director and handled the art direction and game design, from early concept to final release. The game focuses on movement-based puzzles, cooperation, and minimalist level design.

The focus was on creating a refined visual atmosphere,
enhancing materials, light interactions, and delivering a high-end image aligned with the brand’s identity.

Foot2Rue
 

TV Animation Series / Environment Production

Foot2Rue Extreme 3D is a Franco-Italian 3D animated TV series broadcast internationally starting in 2014.
