New Media Artist #4 Mary Flanagan

I really liked this piece of art made by Mary Flanagan. It was cool that she used the engine from Unreal. I used to play Unreal during my AP Java class; when I should have been doing work. It is a really fun FPS. The fact that she knew about this game and chose this engine was very surprising. Flanagan used the game engine so that it runs like Unreal, but the game maps are different. Most importantly, instead of wielding super weapons like a shoulder-fired homing missile called the Redeemer to kill aliens. You go through the memories of the artist's childhood. I also liked that this one is somewhat simple. My roommate is a comp sci major and he is always telling me about how someone modded this or that game.
