Downfall: Corrupt Inquisition

I was the artist on a team of four, working on Downfall. Downfall was a simple 2D platformer where you took on the role of a female warrior who had just awoken from a coma, and needed to figure out who put her in one. 

​

This was the first time I'd ever worked on one game as a class assignment for the semester, and it proved to be a unique challenge as a first-timer. We initially chose a more complex concept, but due to us not really understanding our individual skill level, we had to slowly fix our overscoped project ideals. We met at the library quite a bit to delve into issues regarding how long it would take to create assets, and if code was working smoothly. 

​

Despite the initial struggle, we eventually started gathering our footing and became much more organized. I became much more communicative as the semester progressed, and I ended up creating animations, enemy sprites, and some backgrounds, creating a total of 140+ assets. 

​

This semester was essential to my current abilities as an artist, since it taught me what it was like to work on a team, albeit a small one. It humbled me, and showed me that I needed to learn to accept my failures and embrace criticism in a professional way if I wanted to thrive.

​

Ever since this experience, I've taken these lessons to heart, and I'll always appreciate this class for opening my eyes.
