I just spend the week end with a group of talented people from the independent gaming scene …all of us in an office doing small games and chatting . It was a great experience and we started a “metal slug like” game with one of the guys… it’s not done yet ,but here’s the main character and a quick mockup of what the game should look like.
some of the character designs I did for Soul bubble…. I did lots of them ,like a lot…. even 3d ones fully rigged and textured. That was not the easy part.
As far as I know ,”Soul bubbles” the Nintendo DS game I’ve been working as art director should be in every game shop in europe.
Here are most of my work on the game …. you can see that when I made this screenshots ,the game was still temporary called ” Shabon Damashii” ,which should be the name of the game in Japan… “Shabon dama” means “soap bubble” and “damashii” means “spirits”, I’m not pretty sure but that’s what I’ve been told.
Just a test I’ve been doing thinking of a strategy game that could been done with armies of little warriors. I think there’s so much things to do in 2d games,I just wanted to know how what I had in mind could look.There’s not a lot things in this video ,basically just two pixel art animations ,a photoshop image and an after effect compositing. But actually it was quite fun to do. Hope you enjoy.
The game I’ve been working on as an art director last year has just pop out on internet. It’s called “Soul bubbles” and you basically have to save little spirits by protecting them with your bubbles .The game was made in 3 years and half ,based on an idea of Omar cornut ,a very talented programmer ,creator of MEKA ,a master system emulator. his page : http://www.miracleworld.net/ By the way ,all the team did a really great job on this game .
