Nature Game Proto

This was the first project I worked on at Shipyard Games. It's a game about growing beautiful plants in your surroundings, attracting wildlife and feeding them crafted treats to befriend them. It was a total pleasure to research and build. I was the artist on a 2 person team, we created the prototype in a couple of months in late 2019.

The art style is created using vertex colours only with no lighting, everything is built and animated in Blender (with a little bit of ZBrush where needed).

The game is played in real world locations. Play as a druid who uses their powers to grow their surroundings. Craft recipes from collected items. Grown environments will attract animals that you can befriend using the tasty treats you made. Cooperatively heal cursed animals and donate items to shrines to restore them.

Unfortunately, game development didn't continue past the proto, and it was never publicly released. To me its a very special game - its wholesome and pretty, exactly the type of thing I like to make and to play.
