Super Dimensional

Above is a 43MB video (so mobile users beware) of the game. The assets I'm responsible for that are visible: the ships (including the alien ship); arena/environment (all but the lighting and background); power-up boxes, icons & effects; spawn effects; asteroids & crystals; treasure chests (Chris Watts' concept); and the black hole (including effects).

I have made my development diary/report for this project available online to allow for more detail on my contribution to this project to be available.

A Less Busy Version

Just in case.

Power-up Efficiency

Originally, this was to be an Ouya game, and as such there was a high emphasis on efficiency and minimising the cost of art assets. This design for powerup boxes uses only 44 tris and 32x32 texture sheets per power-up, while maintaining a high level of visual difference and identity.

Jet Boost and Flamethrowers

Screenshots of each effect and their settings can be found here for the boost and here for the flamethrower.

Shield Effect

Achieved by creating a shield mesh, giving it a translucent shader and hand-keying its animation around the centre with a tracer effect added to it.

Spawn Effects

A screenshot of the effect's settings can be found here.
