Dance With The Angels, 2016

AKA: 天使とダンス            
Tokyo Game Show (Japan)

About the game:

  • 3rd person arena shooter, multiplayer game, in a dieselpunk style.
  • It had mechs that have the ability to transform into airplanes.
  • Gameplay included a gamemode where two teams of up to 6 players would fight for points (aka Morale), which you can get from kills and capturing points on the map.
  • The level was a deserted city.
  • Once a team reached the a certain amount of points the game would shift to a 'Till Death Do Us Part mode.
  • In this you have one life, team deathmatch. The team that won the morale battle gained a benefit.
  • You could play as one of the 3 mechs (light, medium and heavy). You could pick a special move too.
  • The game was showcased at Tokyo Game Show 2016, and audiences reacted positively. I was not at tgs.

My work:

  • Within half a year, during school time, I created the following...
  • ... various props for set-dressing the city
  • ... procedural signs for more set-dressing
    • The signs were easy to change in color, text and light (how broken or designed flickering)
  • ... Giant Center Building, known as ANTA
  • ... Various concepts
  • ... VFX
