Last year, I was given the awesome chance to do some visual development for an indie project code named Salvage Inc.

Different biome ideas for the bottom of the ocean.

Different ideas for a “diving bell” that would lower the players to the bottom of the ocean.

Character exploration including how to differentiate each player if they chose the same skin.

Home base explorations

Prop and early enemy explorations. We settled on the famous ocean enemy; pirates

Texture examples for wooden ships

I participated in my first official Global Game Jam this past weekend. I decided to dive head on into it by helping make an NES style game. A working web version of our game can be found here: https://www.slembcke.net/nes/TrashBandits/

Some of the pixel art that I helped make.

By far, the highlight of the game jam was the Executive Director of Global Game Jam, Maria Burns Ortiz, stopping by and playing our game.

As we approached the release of Totally Reliable Delivery Service we wanted to fill out the world with some fun ideas that players could interact with in interesting ways. More vehicles and props around the world are always a good way to add fun!
