Loftia
by Qloud Games Aug. 2022 - May 2023 Loftia is a Kickstarter project intended to be a cozy MMO set in on a floating island in a solarpunk world where players can farm, decorate their home, and work together with other players to improve their town. My Role: Art Lead / 3D Generalist I was initially hired as the first 3D artist on Loftia, but due to me being the most experienced developer on the team, I quickly grew into a Lead role. As such, I had a hand in both establishing the 3D art direction by making a variety of assets as well as building up the 3D team and establishing proper game development practices. Primary responsibilities: - Helmed an international team of seven fully remote artists from different cultures across the globe. - Established, iterated on, and documented art direction and processes. - Created a variety of 3D assets including: modular buildings, crops with growth stages, initial character model, animations, VFX. - Helped build and iterate on, set dressed, and polished spaces in the game world. - Reviewed 3D models, painted over other work to provide articulated and detailed feedback, and communicated with non-artists to ensure project goals were accurate, achievable, and being met. - Oversaw compositional direction for the project’s Kickstarter trailer and directly implemented, and iterated on camera and sequences in Ue5. Other responsibilities: - Discussed and clarified the desires and goals from all stakeholders to provide appropriate feedback and direction on Art and Design. - Educated non-artists and non-developers on art and game fundamentals to aid in basic understanding and communication. - Cooperated with leadership to identify project needs and lead the hiring effort to staff up and support the art team whilst alleviating risks. - Identified issues on the team and project, synthesized strategies to improve them, then presented those to the team and leadership. - Established production practices across the whole project. - Managed production schedules and tracked assets through development. |

Various Projects (2021 - 2022)
Below is art I made for various indie projects while working with a small team informally known as "Newspaper Investors". I hand painted all the tile sets and flipbooks in Photoshop, along with setting up all aspects of levels, characters, VFX, lighting, and blueprints in Ue4.
