Islands - Assets

I thought about making an asset list last week and I have no idea why I didn't, because we really do need one. Matt suggested that we make one this week in class so today we did!

Cameron, Amjad and I sat around thinking about what should be on each of the islands. There are only 4 of them now -
  • Main island you start the game on
  • Beach island
  • Windmill island
  • Japanese island
  • Snow island
They aren't overly complicated themes, but they are all pretty distinctive, which I think is important. Each island has a main town building that the other houses surround, I'm not really sure what we'll be doing with that yet, for now it's just there to look pretty.
At the moment we are just creating 3D models and textures for the models. Although we'll probably have another discussion about what style we want for the textures to be before starting that.

I am creating the assets for the Japanese island, here is the first one I've done -
