DOOMscroller

for this project my theme is sort of mental health, and trying to escape from negative reinforcement loops.

the project is also inspired by a term i have been seeing in my online feeds, doomscrolling, or to “keep scrolling through all of your social media feeds, looking for the most recent upsetting news about the latest catastrophe”

aesthetically I was trying to make the project feel like a retro first-person, turn-based dungeon crawler.

    if i were to scale this project up i would like to take it into the realm of virtual reality

in terms of how this idea relates to course content, i was inspired by Jaron Lanier and the idea of exploring a virtual space as a sort of 3d environment, and how that might look in a time that it dominated by social media.
