Tsuzu's Garden

For my second year Tamagochi Project, I wanted to create an enclosure inspired by Chinese gardens that would home my panda, Tsuzu. I painted an illustrative design that would conceptualise the style I was aiming to create and visualise areas within the game. 

I created two visualisations for Tsuzu, one in my illustrative style and one in a Tamagochi pixel style. I wanted to market the game as an anxiety log that players can use when anxious and creating Tsuzu meant highlighting his quiet nature and replicating a calming gameplay  environment to relax players. 

I developed the level design and mapping out each of the areas, my main challenge was focusing on the scope of the project and making the design manageable in the time I had. From researching Chinese Gardens, I created a Moongate, eating and playing areas for Tsuzu.

I wanted to push myself outside of my comfort zone and 3D model Tsuzu to roll around and walk around inside the enclosure.
