I was artist and co-designer for dinosaurily, a PC game where you can hug other dinosaurs who become your found family, place neon graffiti stickers on the map, and plant flowers from the ones on your back.
As sole artist, I implemented and animated all assets, combining them with post-processing effects and VFX in Unity to create a dreamy cyberpunk aesthetic.
Collaborating on accessible, cozy gameplay design, we aimed to move away from points-driven systems, and towards providing space for reflection, exploration, and community.
dinosaurily won both the Dean’s & Chancellor’s Awards at UC Santa Cruz for innovation in art and game design. We showcased at various festivals, including Playdate Popup at LA Zine Fest.
