Japanese Game
This page consists of work I did for the learning game "Kami No Tabi". Like "Code Age", it was created to help students learn at the University of British Columbia Okangan. However, instead of learning basic coding, the students learn basic Japanese, from characters, to lore, to conversational Japanese.
The game follows the story of Izanami and Izanagi, two Japanese Gods. Izanami is taken to the Underworld, and Izanagi must rescue her. We will take on our own versions of the story, but the characters will remain the same. The player will travel through the Underworld to rescue Izanami, and the outcome will not be what you expect!
"Kami No Tabi", can be downloaded and played through the Google Play Store, as of 2017!
