"The elemental deities have spiraled out of control and are waging war on each other. Two champions have been chosen to help settle the dispute. Choose an element to aid you in battle, and fight the way you want to fight in Stormbreakers, a traditional 2D fighter."

I was the art lead for this game. i've helped come up with the designs for the characters as well as approve background assets and the title card. the key challenge here was teaching other artists how to animate and draw anatomically better. Even coming up with a puppet 2d animating system where we would separate certain body parts in different layers and then animate using puppet-ing techniques.

  • Nathan Golen - project leader

"Blow up, mow down, and crush evil cyborgs under your treads in the largest tank known to man, Landkreuzer. Crew up with your friends and become a juggernaut in this 3D couch co-op action game. Can you work together to save Europe from total annihilation?"

i was the art lead for this game as well...while at this project i learned how to do seem-less textures as well as model in low poly. the animation was done strictly by programming as well. i came up with most of the models for the game as well as came up with the title screen design.
