Disheartened is a Portfolio Piece created by Stuart Winton (@SpookySketches). Everything featured in this project was sculpted, modelled, textured and functionally implemented by hand.

　　Disheartened is based heavily around The Heart mechanic in Arkanes Dishonored series of games. namely, the ability to focus on objects in the environment and learn about its history. or how it may have ended up how it is. This was the main focus of the project and as development on the mechanic continued it became clear that a simple test area wouldn't do the functionality Justice. the Environment needed to be able to tie in with the Emotional value tied to the Mechanic. Thus ultimately culminating as this Project.

　　This had been an ongoing project since June 2020. and features an environment with a multitude of different objects to interact with the heart and learn about. This entire demonstration clocks in to around 5-10 minutes of gameplay if you work your way through it slowly.

　　This Project is also completely compatible with all major Virtual Reality devices (Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Valve Index) This was created as i feel there is alot more magic to an environment when you can physically stand in it.

　　I've also left Collision on the water so you're able to walk out of the main bounds of then environment and have a more detailed look around if you'd like.
