V-Shift
Lead Artist/Animator
Summary
V-Shift is a multi-player battle platformer where mastering your movement is key to victory.
Choose your champion, battle against other players and become the ultimate gladiator in a galaxy-wide alien arena.
I primarily worked on this project as the lead artist and animator. I produced multiple sets of sprite animations for each character, "Ready Up" animations, title screen, end screen, background art, concept art, and muitple other assets and animations within the game. I also developed character designs, the aesthetic concept, and was involved in narrative and voice work. The game is currently available on Steam and Itch.io.

Merch Designs
For events V-Shift was showcased at, such as ATX Gamemakers or GDC, I designed stickers to be handed out to our playtesters.


In preparation for GDC, I also designed t-shirts for our team as well as created a vector graphic of V-Shift's titular character,
The Herald, as well as a vector graphic of the game's logo.
