Concept Art

The initial concept of the game was inspired by the vibrant color schemes and liveliness of the game Firewatch, hence the first ideations for characters and environment assets. After further discussion amongst the group about capabilities for our team size and scope, we decided on a 2D platformer where the main player would be a baby deer. The essence of the game is that the player is trying to get out of an eerie forest, where wendigos linger.
