Character Design
Ace- Game Protagonist. Designed to be ambigious in some ways and keep a very specific silhouette, lanky and awkward seeming.
Zen- Game Mascot/ Sidekick. Dreamy shapes and colours but still reminiscent of real animals. Just a little buddy.

Environment and Prop Design
“Atrium” Hub Level Concept. A safe zone for the player to come back to and practice puzzle techniques, leading to the different in-game areas.

Props + Asset Design. Various puzzle mechanics, relating to a warped school environment.
Text Box + Portrait. It was important for Zen to emote and have character without getting too uncanny.
Background Art. Very cosmic, wanted to lean into space and sky motifs and twist them to be more unreal and dream-like.
