Zodiac Tower Defense

This project was part of my final dissertation for the MA course at the University of Bolton. As an individual I was tasked with designing and creating a small but complete asset pack that could be downloaded and used by developers to make a tower defense games.

I chose to go with the theme of "Zodiacs" as I felt that there were a lot of room for design freedom. Taking inspiration from game such as Smite and league of legends I took into consideration the short time frame to create a set that was mid level topology that could be used for mobile platforms as well though with consoles mostly in mind.

I had 6 weeks to:
-design all elements
-Model all assets and texture them
-Promote my product
-Create a promotional trailer

It was a lot of work and certainly a challenge but one I learned a considerable amount on. Especially when it came to creating multi designs that would cohesively fit together and managing all of those smoothly.

The designs are based on the Zodiac signs as well as their associated planets and element signs. I merged these together to make all 12 signs fit into this one set of 6 main assets. I definitely had a lot of fun with this project.
