GrowingUp@AU Project (illustrated book + 3D animation))

The content of the animation is all about my personal experiences mostly during the period of studying in Australia. The personal experiences include trifling things happened in my daily life, moments that meant something to me, turning points of my life and so on.

The Animation is based on one of my illustrated book "GrowingUp@au". There are four chapters in the illustrated book.

1. The first chapter tells a story of the six-year old me and a cricket. The accidental death of the cricket led me to concern getting mature for the first time.

2.The second part is about the life after I came to Australia - different language, different culture and in another time and space. And I kept learning and growing up. This chapter is also about the people I met - my friends. They taught me many things and I gradually knew how to get along with other people.

3. My boyfriend: the most important person I met in Australia...

4. Australian animals, environment, lifestyle...

Here are some news about the rapid growth and of casual games, and their impact on the whole game industry...

These were the reason that I chose to design a casual game as my major project in my final year of uni study. The theme of game is about running a small Ball-Jointed Doll shop.
