Early Development 3d Models/Textures

​

Modeled in Maya, Textured in Substance, all are subject to change, especially as our shaders come to fully articulate our vision. Images Rendered in Substance.

3d environmental Artist

  • Led Team on curating art style and creating documentation for maintaining a near-future, industrial interior design

  • Created walls, windows and doors with modular design to interface with procedural level generation

  • Created materials to emulate properties of real life counterparts

Narrative

Level Designer

  • Coordinated with department leads to craft levels so that narrative and gameplay requirements would be prevented from conflicting later in development

  • Researched and conceptualized levels to fit with real world design

  • Led Team on narrative direction of the game

  • Wrote story with attention to maintaining gameplay flow and to keeping beats locked to diegetic experience, rather than intrusive, costly cutscenes

  • Wrote with attention to current day events, keeping subject matter light enough to avoid conflicting against game's marketing

Reflection:

Sneaky Clean is a take on classic rogue-likes adding  a smidge of zany, off-the-nose humor and a conspiracy surrounding an advanced robotics company. You control a tank-like vacuum bot called VACBOT and buy upgrades to deal with ever expanding levels, guards, and puzzles. The game's development is proceeding through the fall of 2020 and is expected to release just in time for the holidays. We anticipate great progress; return for further updates.
