The Land of Milk and Honey
A Visual Development Project
(Based on the novel by C Pam Zhang)
"A smog has spread. Food crops are rapidly disappearing. A chef escapes her dying career in a dreary city to take a job at a decadent mountaintop colony seemingly free of the world’s troubles."
Your Friend, The Poet
A game design concept
The city to the west has gorged itself on greed and gluttony. The city to the east sings a song of equality, while the promised provisions are always en route and never at the door. Each has its own currency: the west its wealth and the east its favors, both of which I will come to harness in time. If they knew, they may call me a traitor, a spy, a mercenary. I prefer to be called a friend to all.
Sincerely yours, The Poet.
First draft, work out main movement and shapes
Second pass, make movements snappier and exaggerate extremes
Clean up character, cut out even more in-betweens, work out vfx shapes
VFX precedes quill swing for instant response to player input
Quill stays close to the body, VFX does all the work to suggest movement
Tappy Wizard
A SOLO DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
(developed in unity, GITHUB AVAILABLE ON REQUEST)
In a world with dwindling mana, one must rely on a far more potent and corrupting source of power — coin. You are a despondent young wizard on a journey to the Royal City, an expedition doomed for failure unless you gain mastery in the mystic skill of money management.
My take on the "Flappy Bird" redesign challenge.
Items at the teeny tiny cart mart give extra time, health, and wealth!
