Animate & rig player characters, enemies, bosses, npcs & environmental props for the roguelike game “SWORN”.

Collaborated with my fellow game designer to ensure gameplay felt great for the player on several weapon animations such as a sword, long sword, bow, heavy hammer, canon gun & different magical weapons.

Ensured animations & rigs imported smoothly into Unity, if not I would always find a way to resolve & identify the issue.

Took feedback from my art director on animations for necessary gameplay animations & created animations from storyboards for boss cutscenes.

Collaborated with 3D artist on the team to also ensure models wireframes would be suffice for certain animations on characters, enemies, bosses, npcs & environmental props.

Created several quadrupeds & mythical like creatures such as dragons, cats & birds

Programs- Blender, Unity.

Platforms- PC, Playstation 5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch (Shipped)
