Brief: We were tasked with creating a game that utilises some form of AI, whether that is linked with gameplay or environment generation etc. 
Response: I wanted to focus on the immersive nature of VR. What could it bring to the world of games that traditional console or computer mediums couldn’t? VR allows you to immerse yourself in a different world so I decided to put the user into a board game. Aging Kings is a turn-based strategy game focused on either putting your king on the opposing throne or destroying the other users king.

I wanted to capture the duality of the kings in the logo. Even though the colours can be customised, red and blue are traditionally seen as opposing colours, especially in fantasy settings. I added in nicks and cuts to enhance the feeling of being battle-worn.
