Clue Assets

Final push for common art, this round I focused on finishing the texturing for the characters and solidifying the gameplay loop. The character work mostly speaks for itself; the final quarter was a lot of hand painting and trying to achieve that iconic Arcane look. I'm especially proud of how Johnathan's face came out, although I would want to go back in and edit the lowpoly a bit for a better bake. 

As for the core gameplay loop, our team settled on making a mini-detective clue hunt, where the player (Johnathan) would enter Dracula's manor in hopes of speaking to the Count, only to find suspicious items that may implicate Dracula and his involvement in the disappearances around the town. Then it mostly came down to making all the clue assets and implementing them into the engine and making sure everything works.

WEEK 12: B Stage

 Johnathan Sculpt

Johnathan First Bake + Base Color

Exploded the upresed base mesh for clean bakes. Baking the sculpt ontop of the mesh when it was not exploded created a bunch of really ugly artifacts, especially around the hair and under the glasses around the face.
