experience
This was a hectic project. Not only was I art lead for the first time, but I was also juggling concept art, environment art and TikTok marketing in the meantime. It was a lot, but I remember it being very fulfilling. It was a big step for me to take on the role as lead, but having such an amazing team made it 10x more fun!
duration
This game was made in the span of 16 weeks with a team of about 30 people.
About This Game
Duckside of the Moon originally started as a student project in my second year at Breda University of Applied Sciences. Designers had 8 weeks to work on a concept and begin making levels. Then artists and programmers joined the team to work on it for 8 more weeks. This is when I joined the team.
Duckside of the Moon is my favourite project from my time at BUas. We had an amazing team with a lot of highly skilled and motivated people. The love each and everyone of us put in the project paid of when we were nominated for the Dutch Game Awards. We didn't win, but it was an honor to be nominated.
Some people from our team decided to continue working on Duckside of the Moon and start their own indie game studio. Personally I had other ambitions, but it's amazing to see what the people over at Starbrew have done with the game after I left.
Please check out their game and don't forget to wishlist it on Steam!
