Dragon Heist
High Concept
In Dragon Heist, play as a dragon whose treasure was stolen from you by an evil sorcerer. With a friend, play as a stealthy dragon thief and a powerful dragon warrior, using brains and brawn to solve puzzles, and evade guards to get your treasure back in this thrilling 2D side-scrolling heist game.
I was the character designer, sprite animator, audio designer, and 2D artist for this project.
Process
Sprite Animation
My main role on this team was doing the character creation and animation. We wanted a mixture of a 3D environment with 2D characters to give our game a unique style. I made some different concept art of the dragons and iterated through their designs before picking these ones. I also created the different enemies you encounter throughout the level. I then went through Photoshop to create sprite animations for each of the dragons.
I also made some of the 2D art for the level progression screen and transitions. This was also made in Photoshop and was to help polish the transitions between levels.
I also did some audio work for key parts of the game, such as hit reactions and music.
