Altiia and the Trial Islands

Alttia and the trial islands was a seven weeks long student project that was made together with nine other members at Futuregames. The goal with the project was to create a sandbox game that contained customazations as well as keeping audience awareness in mind.
During the project I was mainly the character artist but did concept props, environment assets and performed QA.

Be ready to embark on a journey filled with exploration and challenges. In this game you play as Altiia, a feisty creature named after her passion for high altitudes. On the hunt for treasures and adventure, she has discovered a cluster of islands which have ruins and temples scattered all around. Your journey begins as she has found a way inside a temple where an adaptable staff resides. This staff can be extended at command which can allow her to pole vault with finesse. However, the staff is missing a vital piece which may be hidden on one of the other islands.
