Revising Art for Vertical Slice

Hey Guys!

With our vertical slice quickly approaching, I have shifted my focus from creating new levels like the Church, and expanding other levels like the Factory, back to our fan favorite; the farm. In order to create the best possible product for the vertical slice, the art team has made it our goal to liven up the farm. 

My first step to getting the farm vertical slice ready was to go back through my old assets and revise them. A lot of my old assets like the market were rushed and as a result did not fit into our oblique style so I went back and revised those assets. Initially, when I created the train station, I left it un infected because I believed that since it was still in use it would not fall to the infection, but we decided that every building on the farm except for the Farmer’s House should be infected.

Along with revising some of my assets I am also creating new assets to “liven up” our dead farm. Some of these assets I plan on making are beaten up tractors, water towers, windmills, and an assortment of plants to place throughout the level to make it more alive.

Finally, in our vertical slice we are expanding the farm as well as implementing more quest to lengthen the time it takes to beat the level. Some art assets I will need to make in order for these quests to become possible are a composter and a very large wheat field. The wheat field will be challenging to make, but it will definitely liven up our farm.
