PROTOCOL 14
The experiment escaped! Turn on the electricity and send out a distress signal before it's too late.
--
PROTOCOL 14 was the fifth group project at TGA where we created a compact point-and-click adventure during four weeks half-time in our own engine, which the programmers built from scratch during the project.
This was such an inspiring project to work on since it involved some of my favourite things - medical horror and puzzles. I was provided blockouts of assets from level designer Lovisa Wirtén, which I could use as metrics for the final assets. I also worked closely with my fellow graphical artist Frida Backman, who provided concepts for the incubator. This was also where my research into incubators started and it sparked the idea of making an Iron Lung for my portfolio. I was able to give a lot of feedback on the texturing of the Cronenberg-esque monster and it was such an engaging teamwork overall. It was really fun and a close collaboration with a truly skilled team.
Various props I made.
Closer look at the cabinet modules. I utilized mirrored and stacked UVs to be able to use two texture sets. I made wood smart materials for Substance Painter that the other artists used to speed up the texturing process and maintain a cohesive look.
Illustrations!
Incubator blockouts and iterations
The incubator that the experiment escapes from. The texturing isn't the finest, but I'm proud of this asset since it represents a lot of teamwork and me learning much more about texturing painted metal, anchor points, and working fast.
