About M.O.L.D.
M.O.L.D. was developed as a cross-disciplinary collaborative project uniting students from PUC-Rio's Arts & Design Department and Computer Science Department across two courses: INF2607 (Animation for Computers and Games) from Computer Science graduate school and DSG1432 (Computer Graphics and Technology for Games) from the Bachelor in Design.
Built using Unity 2.6, the project represents a stylized 3D reimagining of the classic arcade title Space Invaders. For INF2607, students modeled, rigged, and animated custom characters to load dynamically into Unity scenes, while DSG1432 required students to recreate and modernize an 80s arcade stage. We combined both assignments into a unified joint production.
M.O.L.D. represents both the player-controlled mobile defense cannon and a recursive acronym: "M.O.L.D.'s Our Last Defense".
