My Contribution

Our team did not have any artist, so we had to wear multiple hats around the game. I chose to focus on the art/design side of the game.

• Art - Car Model
• Visual - Shaders(Outline, CRT, Glitch), Pixelated Render, Post Processing
• Storyboard & Cinematic - Tutorial + Introduction

Reflection

We joined the IndieJam 2024 without any artist, and with the gameplay being relatively simple, we had to split up our contribution into different roles. I chose to focus on the art/design side of the game since I wanted to practice my modeling skills.

I modeled the car in BlockBench and polished up the gameplay flow design-wise, since during our ideation the gameplay was a little rough around the edges. I also wanted to try out more Shaders and created a few simple but effective shaders to enhance the immersion of being in on a dark highway. I also explored creating cinematic for the first time using Unity Timeline. It was relatively easy to pick up, and it did a lot in introducing the narrative and the gameplay to the player. We were close to winning but overall, we are thrilled with the final product since we had pretty good feedback from other developers at the event.
