OVERVIEW

Our team of four was given 72 hours to design a videogame based on the theme “Aurora”. We chose to create a pixel art RPG. I was tasked with the art and design elements, which includes character designs, sprite sheets, background images, fonts, color palette, and any other assets. 

The story follows an artic fox who is seeking friends to help him set up the Festival of Lights, a celebration of the Aurora Borealis. In order to recruit each friend, the fox has to complete a minigame. The minigames are sled racing against the penguin, ice-fishing for the polar bear, potion-brewing for the sick narwhal, and snow shoveling to rescue the trapped wolverine. After each game is completed, the respective animal can be found behind their festival stand in the town square, waiting for the rest. To conclude the plot, the fox gets to explore the completed festival venue and buy treats from his friends.
