Soul Star is a game prototype we created at Space Rock Games for Nahum Luna (Charriii5) in 2021.
The game is a narrative-driven action RPG, inspired by KINGDOM HEARTS, that sets up a new universe for people to explore.
I really enjoyed getting into the stylised world and being able to capture the 2D characters in 3D.
I created the characters from concepts provided by Nahum and shaded them in UE4.
The environment uses a stylised asset pack for the outer area and foliage while I created the modular town, props and town tiling materials. I went for a Ghibli inspired art style with the environment materials.
Cyro ice and shadow VFX were made by Danny Hwangbo
