New Frontier is a third person RPG with a heavy focus on the bonds between the characters . The game is set in a alternative future where humanity has expanded into the known universe and is lead by private corporations, who have effectively put humanity in different social casts to stay in power. The games focusses heavily on class differences and how they affect peoples well being.

The goal of this project was to see how a single developer could create engagement through a visual narrative, focusing heavily on creating flexible animation pipelines for both body and facial animations that used a variation of motioncapture data, lipsync and hand animations.
