Mesozoic Park

Our Engineering Open House 2006 project was an interactive, dinosaur park. Players can explore an island populated by five kinds of dinosaurs. The project was developed by about six members and utilized no game engine.

In this project, players roam a large island environment populated by dinosaurs. Players can watch as the dinosaurs eat, run, walk and roar. This project may be going into a children's museum soon, check back for details.
