The project is a SCAD based collaboration between the SCAD Animation Studios and SCAD Game Studios. I worked with 79 other developers in an in-person format over the span of about 10 months.

Process Work
The Miro board for this project, with the plotted story beats, gameplay structure, puzzle ideations, detailed character sheets, and much more. This was a collaborative effort, but most of the sections done in light blue were solely me.
The dialogue sheet for a major NPC of the game: Goldbloom. He is the shopkeeper and where the game economy gets utilized.
Additional footage of gameplay. I was part of the production of asset modeling and textures as extra help, but mainly focused on dialogue and story implementation.
