My role in this game was Art lead and musician.
The art in this project was a huge collaborative process, as such I will include the entire art process showcasing everyone's works highlighting my own.
My main role was 3D character and enemy artist, but I also worked on concepting and soft environment pieces.
I made sure to keep the styles 2D and 3D cohesive throughout the game and focused on keeping designs colourful, iconic and almost toy-like.
My role: Colour editing and final touches
Poster design and base art by Eric Liang
My role: Trailer storyboard and art assets showcased above - Trailer edited by Taylor Hewitt
Character designs:
I was heavily inspired by overcooked characters and skullpanda figures for their designs. I wanted to keep them iconic and colourful for the childish game, the orange colour scheme was supposed to represent the colour of safety.
For their designs I had to consider visibility from a top down angle and animation.
My role: All work above on human character concepts and model
My role: Robot concept work, model by Ignas Augustauskas
My role: Alien model, clothing made using Marvelous designer - Alien concept art by Eric Liang
Environment designs:
The levels consisted of the Bubble world, the ice world and the cloud world. Each had to be colourful and interesting from a top-down view. The first world was the most difficult to concept and model as it was the first and least efficient. Later on we found a much more efficient process that allowed us to quickly produce the other levels.

Music:
I composed the level music for the Ice world and Cloud world. I tried to keep a mix of natural instruments and sci-fi elements. In the game, the music plays more instruments the faster pace you are going at to immerse the player.
