Welcome to the body of Grady Gibbs, Grad Student. While he’s fast asleep and getting some much-needed rest and relaxation, his cells are hard at work repairing and rejuvenating. You’ll be helping Patch, handyman extraordinaire, as he assists some of the other body systems on the Night Shift. Bone repair, gut microbiome digestion, immune response, and long-term memory storage are all on the schedule tonight in this exciting exploration of the body’s activities during sleep.
This interactive game was the winning entry for the 2022 Vesalius Trust-a-thon Challenge. The Night Shift was made possible through a massive team effort by BVIS Inc, made up of students from UIC BVIS Classes of 2023 and 2024.
As storyboard artist and asset creator, I helped storyboard animation sequences where Grady, Grad Student, goes to bed and wakes up. I also created animation ready 2d vector assets for Grady and Patch, Handyman Extraordinaire.
