Shavra - Renaissance

First incarnation of the new(ish) version of Shavra. Here you will see the version I worked on and off roughly from 2014 to 16 before I took a break from the project. Early concepts, rough rendering and iffy art direction included.


The first incarnation of the new version of Shavra. Here you will see the version I worked on roughly from 2014 to 16 before I took a break from the project. Early concepts, rough rendering and iffy art direction included. I procrastinated a lot, left the project on hold for weeks and months as I sort of felt that it was too big for me to handle at the time. Well, my "kung fu" has gotten much better and I grew more experienced through the years.

At this stage I didn't really know how to tackle most issues that arise with such a huge project. Time management, scale, when to ask for help, how to properly organize the project so I felt burned out eventually with few things working properly. The combat system was beyond awkward, the characters stiff and unimmersive and the environments where....eh, kinda okay.

For completion sake, I will link you to all the old articles on the subject.
