About

Beyond is a personal favorite of mine. It started as Gnomeggedon, which you can also view on this site, and after coming back from winter break, us artists agreed we wanted to work on something with more atmosphere than Gnomeggedon. So I came up with the main character, world, and story and we started working on this new project. The gameplay remained the same, only the art was redone. 

The story is a young girl has ventured into an ancient tomb to bury the soul gem of her father amongst their ancestors, but a mysterious black smoke has corrupted all the soul gems inside. So she must face them, with her father as her protector, and rid the tomb of the smoke that is corrupting the soul gems.

It is a Top Down Action Adventure Dungeon Crawling Shooter inspired by The Legend of Zelda.

I created all the assets in Photoshop, where I preparred them for rigging in Spine for the animator to use. It was created in a custom engine based on the zero-engine, where I utilized tools created by the programmers to do various things like create and edit objects and rooms, and import the art into the game. I also helped the art director organize the style guide.

On this project we utilized GitHub for file sharing and backups.
