Operation Oasis｜Simulation Strategy Game

Maya，SpeedTree，Substance Painter，Unity

3D Asset Scene

“Operation Oasis” is a strategy simulation game aimed at combating desertification. Players learn about desertification control and raise awareness about environmental protection. The game participated in the UAL Environment and Climate Exhibition, and won several awards, including the second prize at the Nanyang Technological University Global Digital Art Competition and the Excellence Award in the Environmental Track of the Tencent Youth Game Designer Challenge 2021.

I worked on the project as a 3D artist, creating over 60 models and animations for the game, including buildings, plants, props, etc. As well as building environments, terrain and VFX in Unity, I also play the role of connecting art resources to game programs.
