Indie Game Development Showcase 2022 - Sam Claydon

Snow way back

“Welcome! I will be solo developing an open world Indie Game set in a modern day Ice Age. The game is called ‘Snow way back’ and will follow the story of an expedition team of two that go out and try to find a new settlement for their family and friends back at their camp. The game will have a striking colour palette that will partner with the voxel and pixel art.” - an intro to Snow way back from my development blog: https://www.therookies.co/projects/36298

This project is still in development and I will be continuing to work on it throughout the year and posting my work onto this site and Youtube.

Repeater Roulette

“We are a team of 15 3rd year uni students currently working on “Repeater Roulette” a roguelike FPS shooter” - https://linktr.ee/AverageSoup

Having 8 artists on our team, I have been working on many forms of art such as Lighting, Trailers, VFX and Art Passes on the randomly generated rooms for our game. Here are a few scenes I have been working on:

My team members created the 3D art for all of the scenes from the pictures below. I worked on bringing those assets into the blockout scenes and focused on the lighting.

Timothy Tinyhat

“I want to indirectly tell the story of a person going through a burnout. I want the player to go through that experience playing from the perspective of a cartoon doodle. I don’t want to dwell on the hardships of burn out, instead I want to highlight the importance of not over working yourself and keeping healthy.” - an intro to Timothy Tinyhat from my development blog: https://www.therookies.co/projects/33122

Timothy Tinyhat was my first ever release as an Indie Game developer and it was created by myself for my University work. I am happy with how it turned out as it managed to get the Editor’s Award on this website back in November 2021.
