About

The World is Ending (and You Are a Bug) is a short narrative-based game made independently for Bradley University's Special Topics in Interactive Media course. You play as one of six lightning bugs left at the mercy of the world's end, tasked with, of all things, throwing the biggest and brightest party of your small, insignificant(?) lives. How easily can you convince your fellow fireflies to follow along?

As the sole developer of this project, I was left to truly experiment with Unreal Engine for the first time. Although I made liberal use of free sound and art assets, the programming was done by myself as well as the writing, and I am ultimately proud of what I was able to create over the course of a semester.
