Cape Chronicles- class project work

Makkon

For school over the next few semesters we're making a sidescroller platformer game. I'm the lead concept artist, and I'll be working on models for the main characters. This will just be a project thread, and any other members like our programmer might want to present some work here to.

If you get the chance, vote for us here (just need an email) so we can have the prospect of funding our game.

More info on the gameplay is explained there.
We're deviating for PC and Mac with Unity 4, possibly a steam release, and we got in the kickstarter for the Ouya too, so we'll have a devkit for that soon enough.

Well, here's what we've got so far. I'm just showing off my work.











let me know what you guys think.

looks cool

AimBiZ

Charming style. Reminds me of Castle Crashers and Magicka.

jaydon

Awesome style couldn't agree more. You have shown a lot of character in the first image

UltraLrod

LOL nice. Definitely liking where this is going. Keep it up. Can't wait to see more.

BARDLER

Just out of curiosity, what school do you go to?

Jigsaw

Those concepts look really awesome. Totally in love with the design of those knights. I want to play this!

Makkon

Thanks for your feedback, guys! I think I've finished the highpoly model for the main character. Each knight will have the same body armor, but will have a different helmet.

What's the best way to go about making a low poly and getting a clean bake?

almighty_gir

that first screenshot totally sold me on this man. i mean completely and utterly.

if you can maintain that style in the final product i'll buy 3 more playstations so me and the kids can play it in different rooms of the house all day every day.

hey guys, I hate to cross-post like this, but we could really use your feedback.

We're getting ready to move into full production with our game now, and I'd really appreciate it if you took just a few minutes to take a survey!

Take a look below for some art and a gameplay video of our very early alpha tech-demo
We're getting over 60fps, the capture software is a little odd.

Here's the survey again if you missed it up top. Thanks so much, guys!

Once again, concepts are sweet and I'm digging the style you're going after with the final product, but after seeing the alpha-footage I'm not sure to what feedback to give since I don't know how close to finish the visuals are.
As things are right now thing's are looking quite flat due to no prominent lighting. The concepts has a lot more contrast and vibrancy too them both in color and lighting and if you can transfer that into the game then I think it will look great.

So to sum up, from what I've seen, game needs to look/feel more like the concepts or I'm not interested in it.
