Novaturient – Platformer

Sent from her dying home to find a new one, biologist Nova finds herself lost on a foreign planet.
Jump, glide, break rocks and learn the story of this strange place!

In this project we made 3d rigs and animations but then transferred them to DDS images in the engine, in the ending producing a smooth 2D experience. A really exciting project where I got to explore a lot of creative options on how to make the animations come more alive.

We clad the animations in a toon shader and gave them a nice outline to make them stand out even more.
I mostly animated environmental models such as leaf and mushroom platforms but also had time to make some really fun animations for our main character Nova and did a small rig for our companion Lady.
