Project Overview

Loft Arcade is an environment built for Game Party Champions, the Wii U party title where players compete across a variety of mini-games in themed venues. The Loft Arcade venue drops players into a stylized upstairs loft-turned-arcade — layered with cabinet games, neon signage, and warm ambient glow — as the home for a suite of arcade-style mini-game challenges.

Role

My role on Loft Arcade spanned art direction, lighting, atmosphere, asset creation and placement, animation, various modeling and asset texturing, optimization and processing, set dressing, material networks, decals, heads-up display and UI, and VFX creation and placement. I owned end-to-end look development for the venue, tuning every visual layer to fit the Wii U's performance targets while capturing the warm, nostalgic character of a personal arcade space.
