*SPOILERS AHEAD FOR UNCHARTED 4*

Uncharted 4- Kids’ room designs 

I was tasked with designing both Nate’s orphanage and Cassie’s bedroom for Uncharted 4. These levels bookend the game, and showcase two very different childhoods.

I worked with Neil to establish the mood in these two pieces with lighting and set dressing. Where Nate’s room is stark and empty, mostly dark with cool lighting, Cassie’s was to be lit with soft, warm light. Her room is full of stuff. her walls are covered in posters, pictures and evidence that she’s lived a pretty awesome childhood so far. She’s messy and a bit careless with her things, as many kids with lots of stuff tend to be. Nate’s a character who we know to be vibrant, adventurous and creative. We wanted to really drive home how his room didn’t really reflect any of those aspects of his character.

I thought about my own upbringing a lot while working on these rooms. My dad was raised in a tiny village in Greece where he had little to nothing in the way of toys clothes or books. When he moved to Canada and they had me, he worked hard to make sure I had everything he didn’t. I imagined this same sort of relationship between Nate and Cassie. I imagine that when he gave all of the treasure hunting stuff up he did it to make sure Cassie had a better childhood than he ever could.

The bitter cold and windy winter weather of the midwestern US has transformed frozen sand on the shore of Lake Michigan in St. Joseph, MI into a sea of tiny wind-sculpted towers. The Department of Awesome Natural Phenomena is currently debating whether they look more like features from an alien landscape or part of a miniature national park. Photographer Joshua Nowicki happened upon this incredible sight, and captured these marvelous photos of what turned out to be a short-lived phenomenon. As soon as the sun came out, its warmth caused the wee sand castles to disintegrate.
