2022 Indie Game
Skylost
Skylost is a 3D open-world exploration and crafting game where you climb and glide your way through dangerous floating islands in search of your lost love Amelia.
About the Project
As one of the 8 selected student games for the 2021-2022 annual USC Advanced Game Project, Skylost was developed by a team of 30 students across the Game School, Engineering School, Art School, and Music School during the span of a year.
The game was showcased at USC Games Expo 2022 as one of the highlight student projects.
About My Role
As the Art Director of Skylost, my responsibilities included:
led and managed 10 artists including concept artists, 3D artists, level artists, animators, and UI artists
created original concept art and storyboards to visualize the director’s ideas
oversaw the art department’s pipeline and created detailed art-direction documents (including paint-overs) to guide the artists
worked closely with other departments’ leads (engineering, design, narrative, music) to adjust the art to fit with the rest of the game
