Personal Contribution

2D Character Art

I use this Jam as an excuse to try out some 2D character illustration. Here are a few samples. The art are heavily influenced by @ctkcave on Twitter and are for learning purpose only.

Level Design

I also take this oppurtunity to learn the basic level design tools of Unity. I have encountered many issues about lighting in Unity's new URP during the jam and wasn't able to solve it. However, the experience left me with a wonderful foundation to explore bake vs dynamic lighting in the later projects, especially in Unreal Engine 4.
