Reminiscence of River South
Country: Singapore
Media: 3D Game Environment made in Unreal Engine 5
Year: 2023
"Reminiscence of River South" is an interactive metaverse game built on Unreal Engine 5, inspired by the rich cultural identity of artists’ hometown, the River South region of China (also known as Jiangnan). Developed on Unreal Engine 5, this project transports users to a dreamy digital space, where the essence of Jiangnan's vibrant culture and history come alive.
The cheongsam, also known as the qipao, is an iconic symbol deeply rooted in Chinese culture. The cheongsam's allure lies in its graceful silhouette, high collar, and exquisite embroidery. Worn on various occasions, from formal events to everyday wear, the cheongsam continues to be a cherished representation of heritage and a timeless embodiment of grace and style.
Within the realm of the metaverse, the audience is presented with a captivating wardrobe transition, adapting their attire as they traverse various locations. The cheongsam, a quintessential and elegant dress, seamlessly metamorphoses to synchronize with the ever-changing digital landscapes. The dress's patterns artfully harmonize with the surrounding environment, captivatingly enhancing the immersive experience for participants as they traverse through a world adorned with lanterns, creating a mesmerizing symphony of visual allure.
