I designed it to look like a typical preteen girl's bedroom. This is where the player starts the game and thus the most normal and safe area. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/ae10364f.jpg Environmental design for the hallway. This is where the player first encounters a sense of danger. I wanted it to feel cluttered and overwhelming at first. If the bedroom is a safe haven, the hallway is the start of a descent into the otherworldly. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/82664022.jpg When the player reaches the bathroom they find Phoebe crying on the toilet. She has just experienced her first period. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/57ac90a5.jpg This is a very early graybox for the hallway. We were still experimenting with certain mechanics, such as the push-pull. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/354bfae5.jpg This is an early graybox of the bathroom. We initially were going to have blood across the floor in here as well as the hallway. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/a3565c1b.jpg Finished model of the doll. (cr.

Stella Barbagiannis) https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/eff06a0e.jpg Hex House playtest https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/67cdad6e.jpg Hex House playtest https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/0b39c9d5.jpg Hex House playtest https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/dfeefaee.jpg Hex House playtest https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/c48aabb8.jpg Members of the Dredge team play Doll Parts at GDC. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/8e4b946b.jpg My team giving a talk about Doll Parts at the New York State Pavilion at GDC. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/af849c8c.jpg Special guest Bluey plays Doll Parts at GDC. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery01/778f4617.jpg Playtesters at GDC. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image28.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image29.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/d242cdff.jpg In game brewing. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/8d840427.jpg In game UI design. I wanted the UI to look like pieces of paper because in our character design we decided that Emaline had received a notebook from her aunt, which is why it has "Gaia's Brewery" embossed on the bottom. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/d69b1003.jpg Gaia's potion book with recipes for the player https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/715efdd5.jpg The player receives letters inbetween days https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/24014702.jpg My concept art for inside the potion shop. I wanted the space to feel cozy and filled with plants and natural light. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/f4a1da0c.jpg My concept art for the brewing scene. We took inspiration from the cooking mechanic in Venba and decided on a top down scene in which you can click and drag your ingredients into the cauldron. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/33bd3fe1.jpg My initial concept art for the main characters of Gaia's Brewery. We initially were going to implement a character selection mechanic (hence the two different version of Emaline), but later scrapped it due to time constraints. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/40d826f1.jpg A playtest at Pratt Institute with Gaia's Brewery on the big screen! Students got the chance to play through the finished game. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery02/5f053678.jpg Michael Maurino playtests Gaia's Brewery at Pratt Institute. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image09.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image20.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image04.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/b62fd5a6.jpg Letsplay by moozees on Youtube https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/2acde3c1.jpg We added the Pepsi machine as a beacon of safety for the player. It was based on a photo my partner found online in which someone had edited a Pepsi machine into the backrooms. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/9143937a.jpg The player finds tapes around the levels that they have to play. In the tapes it is revealed that this other person was riding their bike when they fell into this place. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/15e8df49.jpg This is where the person on the tapes camped out for a while, as evidenced by the sleeping bag and other trash. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/ef56a458.jpg This is what the player sees when they cover their eyes. They must cover their eyes when the monster sees them in order to protect themselves. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/1c407274.jpg Early environmental concept art. I wanted there to be extremely limited visibility if the player chooses not to use their flashlight. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/6b1de801.jpg Our level one concept layout. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery03/98af3655.jpg Our level four concept layout. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image08.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery12/c8b46019.jpg Gameplay of the outfit selection process. We included a multitude of skin color options so you can even be teal if you want! https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery12/120e5733.jpg Gameplay of the outfit selection process. The player has a limited number of options, but can mix and match for a variety of different looks. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery12/087627cb.jpg I designed the end screen when the player is finished with they're outfit. A custom blurb slides across screen to accompany your beautiful wizard outfit! https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery12/f76ca18f.jpg This was a moodboard I compiled of a variety of different dress up game and mechanic influences. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery12/a8b4a436.jpg We created two personas for our target audience. The first was a child who just likes online dress up games (we actually got a kid to play this game and she loved it). The other was any older stressed out person who wanted to relive their glory days of Ado https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery12/274fd485.jpg These were a few early wireframes of our game. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery12/4ef97b24.jpg Process of asset creation from start to finish. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery12/fbfb2d65.jpg This was my design for the background. I went on Pinterest and mashed together a few different wizard-inspired images and created a bedroom for our wizard based on that. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery12/bf9effed.jpg Environmental art https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery06/320c8a1e.jpg Gameplay of the first level. In this level you ascend a mountain in order to take water from the source of the River Styx. The main movement mechanic of this level is the midair dash. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery06/e7a1b982.jpg Gameplay of the second level. In this level the player must descend into the Underworld to find the palace of Persephone. The main movement mechanic for this level is the wall jump. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery06/b6b69551.jpg Early character concept art. As I knew the player was going to be very small in her environment, I wanted her designed to be simple and easily readable. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery06/0485c41a.jpg Early concept art of the level design. I wanted the environment to feel like Greek ruins. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery06/5c5d7973.jpg Background for level one. I decided on a painterly gradient that slowly gets lighter the closer you get to the peak of the mountain. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery06/58f5dba0.jpg Level two background. As level two is about the descent into the Underworld, I decided a red gradient would be appropriate in this scenario. I wanted this level to feel less open and more cave-like. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image05.gif https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image24.gif https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery09/02b7eea5.png Run spritesheet. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery09/e87cd1cc.png Ledge climb spritesheet. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery09/b0b4cd25.png Idle spritesheet. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery09/203e24b5.png Jump spritesheet. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery09/59072eaf.png Hurt spritesheet. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image10.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery10/f047bd77.gif Untitled https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery10/f1267f67.gif Untitled https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery11/7e94c923.gif Untitled https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery11/8698e644.gif Untitled https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image25.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image01.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image21.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image22.jpg https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery04/98d6960b.jpg Reference images for my character's clothing. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery04/4a71a3e7.jpg Reference images for my character's hairstyle. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery04/b98bfd60.jpg Early thumbnail sketches. I had three different ideas for the type of person I wanted my character to be. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery04/12d01e6e.jpg Second iteration of thumbnail sketches. I decided to focus on the young woman from my initial thumbnails. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery04/860b7582.jpg Alternate outfit design for my character. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery04/6171b3fa.jpg I decided to stick with the original outfit design. This is early color-blocking when I was still messing with some proportions and details. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery05/6e6b2501.jpg A concept sketch for a 3D model I did for a modeling class. I was inspired by art deco architecture and extravagant glass greenhouses. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery05/867ead67.jpg This was a thumbnail sketch I did inspired by the silhouette of a mouse (the USB kind). I contorted the proportions into a different silhouette, and then created a character based on that silhouette. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery05/6e6b09cd.jpg A concept sketch I did of a prairie environment. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/gallery05/04bdd842.jpg A concept sketch of an underwater city environment. https://lillianharris.carrd.co/assets/images/image02.jpg
