Game & Character Designer, Animator and Programmer
Character Design
The character designs and environment designs were based upon a child’s dream so our team wanted to illustrate the child playbook art style yet using olive tone colors to resemble the darkness. As I, the character designer, wanted to enlarge the head to empathizes with their characteristics and show their emotions. However, in the build, it was hard to see their expressions because the camera is zoomed out too far. I wanted as the diversity into this game by mixing various races.
