Team B: Art Style

  • the tsumea app is finally here for iOS (iPhone, iPad)! Everything you have on here (Gamedev jobs, Member's art, Industry listings) and more! It's free and there's no ad tracking. Get it now!

  • tsumea now has a new section where those looking for work (including students who've graduated or are nearing graduation) can get listed so potential employers can know who's out there and available…

  • Earlier this year, we completed the mammoth task of migrating and rebuilding tsumea so that it was set on a new solid foundation that we could build upon. One of the…

  • We have an official Discord channel! The primary purpose of our discord channel will be for website support (account creation issues, suggestions etc), as well as for disseminating our job posts and news. We have a fair few avenues for our users…

  • Just a quick notice to let everyone know that you can post News again on tsumea. This feature was  disabled quite some time ago when we stopped posting daily news and reports on tsumea since it was such a time consuming procedure for our…

  • Well, it's done and it's working! The new tsumea has been months of arduous work, a whole lot of which went into migrating the data, and planning and rebuilding the site all over again. But now it's a whole lot more structured, organised, and…

  • Well, the forum has certainly been a sore point of the site for quite some time now. It used to be one of the most active parts of tsumea for a good part of a decade, but a whole lot of factors have contributed to its slow decline. Forum fatigue…

  • For the last couple of years, we've been on auto-pilot (development wise) on tsumea, settling on a smaller focus for the site. A bunch of the features that we've had since the site began (news, articles, events, media, and games listing) were…

  • Hi there folks, I thought I'd write a little bit about the new games section on tsumea that I’ve been working on for the last two and a bit weeks. This will be in two parts, the first will be a look back at the various iterations at the games…

  • This is an example post for a devlog. Just post a journal and tag it with your game title and it will show up there.

For the art style of Team B's game, I had mentioned earlier about using My Sims as a reference, mainly in its simplicity and stylised & colourful design. For the backdrops and various parts of the menu / title screen, they'll be 3D rendered and maybe animated.

So here's an example of simplicity and colour. Really easy to model, and artists are likely to share assets to re-use in scenes too. And we might have someone to render out all the scenes with a preset rendering mode to contain consistency.

You can look around in various other games for ideas in texture patterning (Harvest Moon for example)

We are missing the new game design doc, so I'm unsure which countries we are planning for players to have stores in, but I'm sure we can come up with the most obvious ones (France, Italy, Japan, America, England, Australia etc).

Charcoal mentioned earlier that we need some characters (again, use My Sims as a reference for simplicity), and that can be started right now.

Other artists can also model kitchen related models, fruit and food etc.. for scenes like the one posted above.

We'll wait a few more days for the roll call, then I will try to contact the artists personally, and if that fails, we will open up the positions for new people.

Anyway, please post any thoughts or comments you may have.
