This year I had the pleasure of doing environment art and to my surprise Characters on the GGJ project titled Mascov. The theme of this year's jam was "Masks".
What an amazing experience with this team to create this in 48h!!!
I really enjoyed Making these little ghosties and working with the animator to make sure that they are good to go for his animation magic.
Thank you to everyone for making this such a memorable experience I learnt allot!
You are an enigmatic investigator, drawn to an island where something dark and mysterious has come to pass.
The town’s residents have lost their identities and now wander aimlessly, waiting for something or someone to relieve them of their curse.
As you explore, you must decide how to help them find themselves and restore what little peace remains… Or risk being consumed by the very force you came to stop.
With Game Jams time is always precious so we decided to simplify the characters but make sure they animate well and that it is easy for the player to distinguish between the different ghosts and maintain each ones personality.I Started with the Main Character/player as he would be the one running arround and interacting.He had a full body then after that was completed with good topology and UV i used him as base to make the ghosts simply by removing parts of the body as the ghosts had no arms as they where hidden under the cloaks and would never use their hands or have visible arms.This ofcourse also had a good impact on optimizations as they had fewer body parts /polygons
Furthermore we only used an Albedo with opacity channel that I handpainted and it was one texture with all the characters and clothes on one texture set,nice and simple!Also great for fast itteration when time is limited.
