A STUDENT VIDEO GAME PROJECT Nelli The Seer is a game developed by first-year students at a video game school. The team had 14 weeks to deliver a third-person action-adventure game set in a historical temple. Game Design and Level Design students started pre-production first, followed three weeks later by the Environment Artists, Animators, and Character Riggers. The programmers joined the project seven weeks after the Game Designers. Game Design and Level Design students had seven weeks of pre-production, while the Environment Artists, Character Rigger and Animator teams had four. Then, all teams worked together during the final seven weeks of production to complete the game. The result is a platformer blended with a memory-based puzzle game , offering about 30 minutes of gameplay . NELLI, A FORMER AZTEC WARRIOR TURNED PRIEST At the beginning of the 16th century , you play as Nelli , a young man from Tenochtitlan. Once a proud Aztec warrior, Nelli is granted the gift of foresight by Tezcatlipoca , the god of night and destiny. Upon discovering his new ability to see the future, he chooses to become a priest. A DARK PROPHECY In his final vision, Nelli sees a grim fate awaiting his people : soldiers will invade the great city of Tenochtitlan , capital of the Aztec Empire. Determined to warn his people, he seeks an audience with Emperor Moctezuma II . However, the emperor does not believe him, Nelli’s prophecy contradicts those of the high priests. NELLI'S QUEST To prove his vision, Nelli ventures deep into the Templo Mayor . His goal : to reassemble the Obsidian Mirror , a sacred relic of the Aztecs and the divine attribute of Tezcatlipoca . Its fragments are scattered throughout the temple’s hidden chambers. Once the mirror is restored, Nelli hopes to convince the emperor of the truth.
