Student Game Project (Huge Image Dump)

amsmntparks

So these are the characters and environment I did for the game Circ du Slay at USC's Gamepipe Labs. The game also uses a wireless glove input device I built. We're updating our games website now that production is done, but more info will be there if anyone's interested. We also had a team of artists making props (you can see some of them in the screenshots) but we weren't able to integrate them into the game mechanics so they aren't shown here.
All characters were also animated and used 512x512 diffuse maps.

Our hero, Joe Normal weighing in at 1590 tris







The evil boss, Master Magician 446 tris


Tiny minions, Midget Clowns 720 tris


Slightly larger minions, Cart Clowns 800 tris


The magicians henchmen, Apprentice 382 tris (+80 tri hats)


The sexiest enemy ever, The Bearded Lady 622 tris


The insatiable, unstoppable, hugable, Uincycle Bear 650 tris


The outside of the circus (both inside and out at 13892 tris)

fun style, I like it! although I can't feel my eyes after all those white bgs

amsmntparks

ya, sorry about the white bgs. I used these in tga format for a printout and forgot to reset the alpha. Here's some cinematic renders we used for win and lose screens:



and comic intro we used to explain the crazy story:

Good catch. Ya our website is http://gamepipe.usc.edu/~theglove/
We should be getting more stuff up soon, including a downloadable copy of the game that you can play without the Gauntlet (which isn't nearly as cool as using the Gauntlet).

Hi everyone! I'm one of the code grunts who worked on this game. I just wanted to encourage any feedback on the artistic style of the game, because I actually came up with it and am quite proud. Amsmntparks, though, did most of the actual work involved in taking those 2d sketches/style concepts and turning it into a staggeringly twisted 3d world.

The bear is so huggable! I need a hi-rez version that has the MOM tattoo clearly showing. :P

Digging the Psychonauts flavour. Nice work, mate. My school games development project didn't look half as good as this.

The black gouroud shading is taking away from the style. If you can get some more saturated shadows, it would look nicer. Some kind of toon shader, but with soft transitions maybe?

Cheese: Do you mean in the shots of the magician + hero, or do you mean within the circus model (in-game)?
