PROJECT "THEY ARE"
WORKING ON PROJECT "THEY ARE"
AS WRITER
In the Summer of 2016 I wrote the story for a VR-project called project "They Are". For one semester a student collective would use the story to develop a VR experience using Unreal Engine and the HTC VIVE. During this time André Lammers, Chris Leenheer and Tom Hodes created the artwork shown here.

and Tom Hodes. Full credit goes out to these artists who continuously pushed the project forward. I'm honored to have had the chance to work with you on this project and even more so to call you my friends.
PROJECT "THEY ARE"
Story Summary
It finally happened: they arrived on Earth. No invasion or annihilation followed. For years, human communicated with them in peace. Though this peace didn't last. Conflict grew and the ship which the Aliens called home closed with every human scientist locked within.
10 years after this catastrophe, the ship remains closed of from mankind. John, son to one of the missing scientists, goes back to the sight in order to find answers.
Project "They Are" was developed in collaboration with Saxion: University of Applied Sciences. The goal of the project was to create a studio-like environment within the university. The team would be free to explore the possibilities of VR technology and develop their own fictional universe.
