Game Pitch
In Thunderclap, a guild of lightning-wielding mages have only ever accepted those with natural magic abilities. As an inventor without magic, you are instead equipped with cutting-edge mechanical devices built to harness and control lightning. Become the first of your kind to attempt to join the guild by completing a gauntlet of challenges designed to put your mind and gear to the test. Dare to brave the storm in this absolutely electric story.
Individual Research:
Creating An Artist-Friendly Workflow
In addition to creating a game, I researched the process of creating an asset pipeline and detailed the best practices that were used for our team's content pipeline.​
-
The best practices were the culmination of my case study on how our team developed our pipeline
-
I implemented techniques suggested by my research advisor as well as techniques I found in game studio documentaries, postmortems, and GDC talks
-
Please note that these techniques worked for our team and are not intended to be universal.​
