We Walked in Darkness
This was a free educational game developed by CelleC studios. The game aimed to teach elementary school-aged children about the time period of slavery in the United States. It follows Grace and her brother Elijah as they escape from a plantation and make their way to freedom. This was an Adventure/puzzle game developed using Unreal Engine over the course of a year.
For this game, I was a 2-D artist and I was responsible for reconceptualizing and replacing all of the cutscene art that was in the game at the time I entered the studio. This resulted in 12 photoshop paintings being completed for the game.
BrewHa! is a VR, single player, potion throwing game built in Unity. It was developed by Black Banshee Studios. The player is a barkeep at a hoppin', magical bar where they must fulfill potion orders given by clients with various ailments. The player must grab a bottle, dip it in the right potion, add the right ingredients and throw it at the correct patron.
