  • By Christina So (ID: 21412858) Week 1 For this project, I wanted to make stylised attack VFX for games like Honkai: Star Rail and Guilty Gear: Strive. I've noticed, referencing many games and anime using this style is that they favour very vivid and saturated colours for the effects and a lot of the particle include 4-pointed stars and glittering effects, emulating a magical feeling. Below is a scene from Little Witch Academia, an animated TV show. This scene shows the main character, Akko, drawing a bow and charging up her power. You can see bright green stars all around her body. image This image is a screenshot from Honkai: Star Rail, where the character, Argenti, is seen deeling his finish move with a flourish of rose petals and stars.

  • pregnant woman Lovecraftian train game: New Game Pitch This is a click-and-drag RPG horror visual novel (set in the 1800s) featuring a detective named Elizabeth (Liz) O'Connel who takes on a case investigating missing people in the state of Montana. People are doubting her abilities since she's both a woman and 6 months pregnant, so she's determined to prove them wrong. The mysterious disappearances have almost no connections to each other save for the reason... They were all invited aboard a luxury train for a short holiday and were promptly never heard from again. The train is a mimic monster that is sentient & intelligent. They use the appearance of a train to farm humans as a food source. It controls the less aggressive and more fearful humans as "staff members" to fool new passengers. The humans that fight back are eaten immediately to reduce risk of cover being blown. Liz can use different items and weapons during the game to solve any QTE (Quick-Time Events) that may happen during the story. This includes things such as: choosing the wrong action -> you have been discovered -> use the mouse to aim the gun at the enemy to shoot them (time limited). Some people have not been eaten yet, you will need to save them, which is the goal of the game. There is a safe area where you can save your progress. It's a supply closet that Liz will use to store the items she can't hold in her inventory. There she will discover a small robotic creature that can see whenever the train is watching and help the detective stay safe. The more QTE's you trigger (alerting the enemies etc.) the more your insanity meter will go up. Head to the storage room to play the music box, improving your sanity.

  • Christina So ID: 21412858 Games Art BA(HONS) L5 ZBrush ZBrush is a software that is used to sculpt 3D models. Unlike Maya, ZBrush works better with a graphics tablet with the artist building up their character, not modelling them with polygons. Its compareable to using clay to sculpt in reality. Shortcuts and Tips: 2.5D mode cannot be worked in; press Ctrl + N to move to 3D mode to begin sculpting. (You can also click the "edit" button to work in 3D). "Make Polymesh 3D" to begin working on a new shape.
