The Last Werewolf
No full textThe Last Werewolf is a story-driven interactive narrative game that explores themes of identity, stigma, and self-acceptance through the lens of the supernatural. The game follows Lachie, a young woman who must navigate her daily life while coming to terms with her newfound werewolf identity, a condition that serves as a metaphor for managing Bipolar Disorder. The narrative-focused gameplay invites players to guide Lachie\u27s journey across three chapters, making meaningful discoveries through interactive dialogue and story moments that shape her path. Players engage with the world by investigating supernatural mysteries, collecting clues, and managing the delicate balance of embracing who she is while searching for answers about her past
Immersive Digital Painting: Insights into Interactive VR-Based Artworks
No full textThis doctoral research project explores how mindfulness can be experienced through immersive creative technologies, such as virtual reality (VR). While virtual technologies have gained attention in the realm of mindfulness research, there remains a notable gap in understanding how mindfulness develops during drawing and painting mandalas within immersive environments. Despite recent progress in mindfulness research and VR technologies (Lu et al., 2023; Mistry et al., 2020; Navarro-Haro et al., 2017; Olasz et al., 2024; Roo et al., 2017; Seabrook et al., 2020; Serrano et al., 2016; Woo & Lee, 2023), flow, immersion, and presence theories warrant further investigation when examining immersive art-based mindfulness and mark-making. Through rigorous methodology and evaluation of art-based practices, this study aims to advance interdisciplinary research. Additionally, by synthesising insights from creative practice, VR technologies, and theoretical frameworks, this project opens new avenues for studying digital painting within a phenomenological approach.
Using qualitative methods, the study involves fourteen participants in examining mindfulness experiences in VR art activities. Research methods include observation, semistructured interviews, video-cued recall and thematic analysis, guided by flow, immersion, and presence theories. Participants engage in structured digital, structured analogue, and nonstructured digital art activities to explore mindfulness across different environments.
From VR mandala artworks to analogue colouring on paper, participants experienced key themes such as mindfulness, mark-making, space, depth perception, sense of time, and agency. This research not only illuminates the interplay between creativity and mindfulness within interactive virtual environments but also holds implications for both academic discourse and practical application. The study benefits researchers and practitioners in understanding how creativity and mark-making can enhance art-based mindfulness in interactive VR environments

BURDEN [Music]
No full textBURDEN is an original extended play (EP) that explores identity, isolation, and existential haunting through the lens of Australian Gothic. Drawing on personal experience and mythic storytelling, the project examines the “burden of identity” within rural and queer contexts, engaging with themes of religious trauma, belonging, and the negotiation of selfhood in dark, liminal spaces.
Musically, BURDEN situates Australian Gothic within a framework of ambient folk, experimental sound design and poetic lyricism creating an immersive atmosphere of coldness and estrangement. The creative process involved iterative songwriting, production experimentation, visual design integration, and audience testing with participants aged 17–30, ensuring thematic clarity and cultural resonance.
The work offers a unique perspective on how personal and cultural hauntings can be translated into sound, contributing to broader discussions of identity, memory, and place. Ultimately, the EP demonstrates how music can embody both personal catharsis and collective emotional resonance
