After reading the feedback, I realized that our concept is actually strong, but our technical work does not yet fully support it. As the person responsible for coding, I started to think more carefully about how the technology can truly express our idea, instead of just creating visual effects. For example, the particle system and noise texture should not only look interesting, but should represent invisible pollution and the slow damage happening to the body before people are aware of it. I was especially inspired by the idea of “destroyed rights” and the political meaning of the passport. Through code, we can create unfair systems, such as random assignment, to reflect the arbitrariness of birth and privilege. I also began to question whether we really need to release real gas or control people’s breathing, or if we can use sound and visuals to simulate these experiences in a safer and more meaningful way. This feedback helped me understand that technology is not just a tool, but a language. From now on, I want to focus on building a clearer experience structure and make sure every technical decision supports our core message.
