This is my senior project at Drexel University. I was one of the main animators for the game. I had a hand in all the key plant animations for the game.
This is the bubble bulb, which is used to heat an area up or keep the player warm when applied to the player. The animation, vfx, design, almanac art and icons are all drawn by me.
I created the animation within Procreate Dreams.
This is the final animation of the fernace within the forest region. The VFX were created using shader graph.
This is a magnified version of the animation. The animation was built on ones, for 12fps.
These are all the sprites used for the fernace overworld animation
This is the design right before the final design. As you can see, it utilizes a lot softer edges that we changed to become more jagged to match the shape exaggerated shape language of the game.
This is the rough version of the animation.
These are concepts for the fernace plant. All of these are preliminary designs before landing on the final design.
