Panda Palate background assets
The first group project I worked on during the Masters's course was an android, single screen platforming, mobile game. I concepted and created all the assets for the first region, consisting of 5 levels. The game is called "Panda Palate" and can be downloaded for free on the google playstore.
The final mountains used for the first part of the region. We wanted to avoid the feeling of floating platforms. Therefore, I made them "bigger and broader" so platforms could be placed in front of them.
Style and colouring tests based on the mountain studies.
Shape studies of the different China inspired mountains for possible background assets.
A style and colouring test of the bridge study.
Shape studies of a China inspired bridge (to use as possible background asset).
A style and colouring test of the boat study.
Shape studies of a China inspired boat (to use as possible background asset).
A style and colouring test of one of the house studies.
Shape studies of the different China inspired houses for possible background assets.
"Far, static, background" based on the third mountain region of the colour script.
"Far, static, background" based on the second water region, which transitions in to the next mountain region.
"Far, static, background" based on the first mountain, region of the colour script.
Colour script for the background.
I split the final landscape drawing up in different layers (far background, which will be static, a layer of interactive platforms, a layer for the character and a static foreground).
I showed my previous rough sketches to the team, and together we decided which parts we liked the most. I then combined those in to a final landscape drawing.
I combined the small scenes, the landscapes represent the "road; different levels" the player will follow.
I drew several small scenes based on Chinese different regions and settings.
