SCOTT BASSETT

For Brackey's Game Jam 2024.1, I joined forces with a dynamic team comprising three artists, one composer, and a developer, marking our first collaborative effort. My role focused on designing backgrounds that seamlessly complemented the character artist's distinctive style in our game, Uplift.

Despite the initial unfamiliarity within the team, we quickly found our rhythm. Each artist—assigned to UI, characters, and backgrounds—brought their unique expertise to the table. My responsibility involved creating backgrounds that we could hide objects within it for the player to discover.

Uplift distinguished itself among 787 entries, achieving an impressive overall rank of #20. Our game excelled notably in thematic execution, earning a top score of 4.152 out of 5, highlighting our ability to deeply integrate the given theme. Additionally, our graphics garnered high acclaim with a score of 4.022 out of 5, underscoring the visual appeal and synergy achieved between the backgrounds and character artwork.
