Last weekend, I participated in SNHU's 48 Hour Spring Game Jam. My primary role on the team of five was that of the Environment Artist and Designer. The majority of the environment tiles seen in the images were done by me with the exception of the gravestones and several of the interior pieces (which were done by Alexander Paleologopoulos, Nate Laurin and Xavier Christens - Patrick Ryan coded the game).
The theme of the jam was H.P. Lovecraft so we decided to make a sinister semi-turn-based mystery action survival game that made use of pixel art set at a forty-five degree perspective, Unity, and a VR headset which worked with our programmer's phone. The result was terrifying immerse and the team plans to continue the project now that the competition is over.

Now that I can make a second pass at this environment, I will be working on optimizing the image files, adding more variation to some of the pieces, putting in assets like trees which did not make it into the final build and just improving the overall quality of this spooky Louisiana port town.
