Junkster | Environment Kit

I was responsible for prototyping, developing, and eventually implementing the modular workflow we used to create Junkster's environments. These kits had to be kept lean for our target hardware and provided lots of opportunities for creative problem solving in the textures and shaders. Largely, I found a non-linear trimsheet approach to work best for maximising variation from a single texture.
The enviroments were built with a layered approach, first blocking out shapes then adding smaller details on top with other kits. I was mainly responsible for developing the foundational assets for those firsts steps, and figuring out what sizes and shapes worked best for Junkster's needs. It being a building game, the natural conclusion was to use a similar but upscaled version of the grid used for the building elements.

Junkster is unfortunately in a state of publishing limbo, but I am still proud of the work we accomplished and feel fortunate for the opportunities it presented. I'm glad we still have the chance to show it to the world.
