Educational underwater game
A shift in the tectonic plates has made an opening to an underwater sea that has been hidden for millions of years. You're part of the research team from Tres Museos who are trying to discover what is down there. Prepare yourself to swim in Ancient Tides.
Ancient Tides:
This is a singleplayer underwater adventure game. The game was made for our client of tres museos in Mexico. The game is available in English and in Spanish.
My role in the team:
I was the main artist of the team and had the biggest hand in choosing the artstyle and creating all the fish models. All the fish were extinct so most of these fish are uniquely designed and modeled using old pictures of how to fish wouldve looked like. I also had a part in working on the environment and it's textures.
At the end of the project I made 9 animal models each with their respective skeleton.
The turtle and it's skeleton were also fully animated by me.
Synopsis of the game
In this game you are a deep sea researcher that explores and discovers the ancient seas.
Scan the fish that were thought to be extinct and research the forgotten ruins. Fill your fossilpedia with all the different fish and read the information that was found.
Ride the fish to navigate through high-pressure areas and discover the rare golden variants.
ArtBible and Artstyle
As the artist of the group I made a full styleguide and a style walktrough. In the Style walktrough I show the basics of how I start my design process until the texturing process. I also show what references I use and what parts I use of what models for the final style.
As for the Artbible, I researched different underwater games to find out what makes them so appealing. The games we mainly looked at were very colorfull and bright.
As for the art style of the fish, they are mainly low poly and have hard edges that compliment the artstyle of this fish.
They also cleverly used gradients on the interesting parts of the model and are very vibrant as well.
