I've still been hard at work working on #TheClockworkPrince , such as creating more 3D assets and working on maps.

In the meantime, here is a look at how much Ian's design has changed from the original game I made for the IGMC2018 to now ✨⚙️

#pixelart #gamedev #ScreenshotSaturday
The original concept art of Ian from 2018, It displays a young man with a brown hat. One of his eyes is a clock and a clock can be found where his heart is as well. The current concept and assets for Ian in The Clockwork Prince. It features a young man with a clock for an eye. One of the images displays him looking over a map, another displays him with a large gear behind him.

My first published game work

I was part of the QA team and did compliance on all platforms for In Sound Mind. I was able to help solve quite a few game breaking bugs the team was trying to narrow down when I joined.
