Lewis Murray // Honours Student 2021
For my final year, I decided to focus on my main skills of illustration and animation. After landing an external opportunity to do some hand drawn video game animations as a side project, I decided to make my main project a concept for a video game of my own!
The concept is a bright and lighthearted 2D platformer. The premise is that a mysterious robotics corporation has started to cause havok on the local wildlife and environment. Borrowing a battle suit and energy sword, you have to save the animals from the robots and find out who is behind all of it. The concept is heavily inspired by games I grew up with, and my main goal was to create expressive characters and a fun world to explore.
On my portfolio page, you can find more illustrations, character sheets and in-game mockups for this project!
My other projects include the 2D games animation project, an app designed to make home cooking more accessible to beginners, and a small animation to celebrate Hedgehog Awareness Week. I have also been learning HTML5/CSS web development and VFX in the Unity engine inbetween projects!
