Role: Art Director
I was responsible for defining the overall art style/theme of the game. I gave detailed direction on game flow and animations while also creating the 2D production assets. I worked closely with the game designer and the creative team to make sure the aesthetic integrity was upheld and that the features were fun and exciting for the player.

This game features three possible jackpots that the player is able to "unlock" by increasing the bet amount. They all sit below the main playfield area and can be won during one of the features in the game called "Falling Alice". Each jackpot has a character associated with it.

Character Animatics
Below are a few examples of rough animatics for different moments during the bonus game. They were created in photoshop.
Feature Animatics
The following animatics were created in Photoshop using Timeline animation. I created animatics for the different features in the game to direct the team on FX design, timing and UI animations.
