Game Development
Since it's the final thesis for my master's degree, our team spent enough time on a whole project development cycle working on ideation, background research, preparition, development (game design, art design, sound and programming), evaluation, user testing, conclusion and future plan.
The game art for PIAMO has experienced 4 phases with 3 different art directions. We put our game art as one of the crucial features as we believed wonderful game art is important to create better playing experience.
