Hello! I am the developer for Ainia,  Gulleh Rizvi, and I just wanted to talk about the process through which Ainia was made. It came from a brief idea about 3D game where the player gets to interact with a town and its people.  I would advise players to be patient when playing this game. This project was something that I wanted to experiment with as much as possible till I was able to figure out the right choices to make. In the artistic sense as well as in the schedule sense. The core inspiration was for Ainia to be something I could look back on and be proud of it. I have successfully been able to accomplish that part but not without my incredible peers and faculty members at Maryland Institute College of Art! A huge thank you for being so incredibly supportive and helpful whether through late night coding issues or playtesting! It has been an incredible journey and I cannot wait to put this baby out into the world!
