Skyguard - Ship Environments
My environment and layout work on the BYU capstone game, Skyguard!
The game takes place on a small fleet of 3 steampunk airships, which the players have to defend from onslaughts of grungy robots.
I was tasked with the environment for Ship A (the starting ship). Being the starting location for the players, the layout needed to be fairly open and simple for first time players.
As efficiency was a key focus on this project, the layouts use majority instanced mesh, with large collections of ISM actors in each level to cut down on unique drawcalls.
Ship C is the third ship the players end up on, and I worked in tandem with our environment art lead Matthew Hunter on this layout!
Check out my breakdowns in my following posts!
