For my synoptic project I am in a group with Keith Wilkinson , Jake Thompson , Jacob dale and Jessilee Russell. The game is a 2D metroidvania with inspirations from Metroid , Castlevania and MegaMan . My role in my group is to create concept art for the enemies and characters as well as make their assets. As well as animation in unity for the main characters and sprite based animation for the NPCs. The name of our game is called It’s A Small Game.

asset list
The asset list is a list of assets that will need to be made for the project , it also will rank what is a high priority to work on , which we will focus on completing first. It also shows what we are all working on which is good as it can help organize and streamline production . In my case I am starting with the male character concept art and mini boss design. I also have to create assets for the female character , ground enemy , flying enemy and boss.
production timeline
The production timeline shows a rough timeline in when assets are going to produced and completed by in addition to what order their are going to be completed by.
