Epoch: Return (2014)

Art Direction, Concept Art, Environment Art, VFX, Animation.
Epoch: Return is a game project made in the Unity3d game engine that focuses on exploration and the relationship of a married couple that find themselves stranded on an alien planet. 

I was originally brought on as an animator to help make a kickstarter trailer, but as scope changed, I ended up making concept art, painting textures, sculpting terrain, and prototyping gameplay in addition to my job animating. 

This project is on hiatus as of March 2014.
Below is the kickstarter video made for this project. The beginning contains some scripted gameplay footage that shows off the art, animation, and effects work I did. The rest of the video is mostly interviews and discussion of the narrative.
