The Stake




Stake 2014
@Game Lab, Center for Human Imagination




The Stake is a mini project for the Assembly, a research in the Center of Human Imagination - UCSD

In 2014, I worked for the Center of Human Imagination at UCSD.  The Stake was designed as a digital creature for a bigger ecosystem in an virtual environment, the Assembly.  The stakes can swallow energy and perform different behaviors based on various situations.
