Roykfern
2019-20 | Group Project | Narrative Adventure
"A story about a young traveller named Roland who travels across the land of Roykfern and seeks the find the Lord Magistrate in order to bring back music to his kingdom, as well as confront secrets of the past."
Roykfern was an Honours project in which I volunteered to take part in as the Main Character Artist. I was involved in communicating with the student team and meeting with them every week to discuss work and targets, as well as showing the progress of my designs for feedback.
Main Responsibilities/ Role:
Responsible for the concept art and design of characters - primarily designed the main protagonist Roland with his various animations for walking, running and picking up items, emotion masks and other reference sheets.
Designed other key NPCs in a similar manner, making some minor villagers modular so they can be customised.
Contributing towards the discussion of story elements and gameplay with the team - how this could affect characters and the narrative.
