Game Design: Vim & Villainy

About:                                                                                                     My Role:                                        What I learned:
Vim and Villainy is a British comedic adventure game that                    Co-Creative Director                     How to manage a project
harkens back to the style of adventure games created in the                Concept Artist
early nineties. Artistically, we wanted to create a game that                   2D Artist
was influenced by Russian nesting dolls dolls/Japanese
Kokeshi dolls, and the works of Eyvind Earle, Laurel Long,
and John Howe. In the demo, British and South
African-Dutch influences also played a part, as that is the
cultural references we used for this town.

In order to achieve the look we wanted for the game, I drew a number of assets such as the clouds, or 'deco sticker' decals to go on the buildings.

The people's textures were also drawn by me, for the same hand-painted look

Foliage and sheep were heavily stylized to fit into the wooden doll world

Environmental Development of the town.

Details like the textiles that filled the mayor's house, the stained glass window, grasses, and wooden beams were especially fun to do.
