[ Concept Art, Game Design. ]
I also took the lead on designing the game's interactable objects, from visual identity to gameplay function. I often included animated clips and gameplay docs with my designs to help guide them smoothly through production to final implementation.
I also created dozens of textures and graphic design elements, contributing heavily to the final look of the environments.
[ Visual Development. ]
One of my main tasks early on was helping define the project's visual and aesthetic identity. As the big picture became clear, I was asked to design the game's NPC creature menagerie.
After extensive exploration, a style for the NPC creatures matured, and I created the final designs. I also designed gameplay and action concepts for them and supervised their implementation.

Feature : Video Game Development
For the online video game SlimeCore by GENPOP Interactive, I was hired as a Visual Designer and Game Designer. During pre-production and early development, I helped guide the game's visual identity, from characters and environments to graphic design and interface.
When the game moved into full production, I was promoted to Concept Artist. In that role, I created hundreds of concept art sheets covering character designs, environment designs, and graphic design elements, helping populate the game's dense, colorful world.
As development progressed, I was asked to take charge of VFX. I designed and supervised the implementation of character VFX and interactables. I also created extensive style guides for VFX and interface, resulting in aesthetically consistent and legible gameplay.
