Game Dev: Find The Light

This project was a collaboration with programmers and designers at Abertay University. I acted as head concept artist and art director on the project. I aimed to make a light hearted game aimed at children while giving off a slightly spooky vibe. The story follows a very young girl who has to navigate the new house her family have moved into in order to find her beloved bear buried in one of the moving boxes. She must find the light sources in each room in order to dispel any ghouls (or balloons with sheets over them) she should encounter.
Some early designs for our child, I hoped to make her simple yet appealing.
A multitude of interiors were designed before we settled on a few that made sense in the environment.
I tried to look at different things that could easily scare a small child and we settled on the idea of ultimately harmless but appropriate characters eg: house cat, sheets etc.
Unfortunately this project only lasted on semester due to course obligations of our programmers, however I managed to experiment with asset design and create a concept for room one.
