I took on various roles in this project, focusing mainly on character design, writing and programming. We each designed three of the nine leaders ourselves, and worked on the main characters together. I was in charge of the designs of Mercy, Rebecca (&Thomas) and Russell. For deep dives into my character design process, you can also check out my post about our main character, Emcy, which I worked on alongside Femke. I also did the character sketches for all the poses you see in the dialogue sprites, and I’m very happy with how much personality we were able to convey! I did a little bit of animation too, but that didn’t end up making it into the trailer or game because it looked too strange to only have one character animated and not the rest. The tragedies of time restrictions, I suppose, but that’s what it’s a concept for.

I had a lot of fun working on this project, it was a great chance to learn more about the pipeline for Unity projects, and to try my hand at a little programming. I don’t know that we’ll ever continue this project past where it is now, but perhaps we’ll pitch it here and there after our studies if we’re still motivated for it. Who knows where we’ll be in a year’s time, huh? Either way, I had a lot of fun and learned tons, so I’m more than happy ;).
