The Art of Starmender

2024/25 Year 2 2D Game Project
Starmender is a collection style puzzle game where you play as Xingyu, an astronomer fixing constellations that fell out of the sky due to a galactic collision.

As the sole artist for this game, it gave me great joy to see how it developed over the 6 months of working on it. The beginning stages were rocky as I did not have much prior experience, but I found my style and polished it into the final product. All of the art is handdrawn in this game, including the animations and I am proud of the final product, and my teammates who made the game playable and enjoyable.
