My time has been split between working on Greetings, Human, and some other, less digital game projects, but I wanted to share some of the aesthetic progress I’ve made since the compo.

Sketches of possible alien heads/features.

Heads designed in Illustrator and rendered in Unity.

Updated UI implemented in Unity.

I’ve also been doing deeper research into cultural dissonance and what makes cultures different. There’s obviously a lot more than just saying hello and goodbye, including things like:

• Rites of passage
• High-context vs. low-context
• Class systems
• Values (personal, material and societal)

So, the final product is going to have to be more nuanced and less simply memorizing actions in order to do the situation justice. I’m excited to take it on, though!
