Neanderthal Tools

Released

It’s very hard to choose a good name…

This was my thesis project at Aalborg University which I worked on during COVID with Frederick Stief. The goal was connecting with actual Archeologists doing research on various aspects of Neanderthal life. We connected via Zoom and settled on trying to replicate a flint tool making technique in VR called Levallois.

We put some serious man-hours into researching Paleolithic period and got to chat with Archeologists from University of Zagreb. At one point, we actually went out and got some flint to try this out for ourselves to record SFX for the game. It was quite fun digitizing this.

Either way, if you’re interested in this project, I made a more detailed post on Posts -> Neanderthal Tools.
