AugustWind The season of dreams and cloudeels
School: Zürich university of the arts (Zürich, Zürich Switzerland) Game Website: http://www.august-wind.com 
Description:
AugustWind is a story about a young badger named Andreas, trying to find his luck on Eelhaven VII during the season of August, dreaming of a life of fame and recognition. He teams up with Penelope, a seasoned but luckless eelminer who finally wants to get the life she deserves. Together they participate in the eelmining competition of August where pilots use their magnets to get as much valuable metal off the backs of majestic cloudeel in this world of floating islands.
AugustWind is a postapocalyptic free-roaming shooter. It lets the player decide each day anew what activities to partake in and how to get close to his goal of fame and wealth. The earth got destroyed eighty years ago, remaining only scarce floating islands over a thick cloudlayer of brownish hue. The people started to build eelhaven, giant hotels that specialise in attracting cloudeel from under the clouds to harvest precious ressources off their backs. The whole game was hand-drawn and arranged in a 3D engine for a moving comic inspired multilayered 2.5D gameplay.
The game was a Bachelor project for the University of the arts in Zürich, Switzerland and took eighthundred hours of work untill today.
