Major Assignment - Week 1 Concepting

*Sonshine Concept art by Brad Craven

Last week we started the major assignment which will fill up the rest of the year, I will be working on a project called Sonshine, which will be an exploration based occulus rift game exploring the strength of relationship between mother and son.

Since starting I have been working on concept art for the game, something I hope to complete this week, after stopping to get a test environment up.

and then I did a couple of concept images for the Log Cabin and Gazebo.

I then started sketching objects that are likely to be in the scene to get a feel for the shapes and forms, before going into concepting.

I then got to work creating a test environment for the first level:

and here is the Unity Webplayer build of the test environment if you'd like a look around:
