DICE MANUFACTORY INC.
Dice manufactory Inc. was a three person project submitted for the 2022 Game Maker's Tool Kit game jam. The game was developed in a 48 hour time space, all assets were created from scratch. The prompt for this years game jam was "roll of the dice", as such our team of three decided to create a game inspired by Factorio with randomized elements. All gameplay features and art assets were created an implimented within the alloted time period.
ASSET CREATION PROCESS
After deciding on the concept of a dwarven factory producing dices, I began creating the art assets that would be used for the final game. Given limited time and context of the game I decided that low poly steam punk would be a good fit. I started with references with similar themes, taking inspiration from Deep Rock Galactic for the character design and general steam punk art for the environment art.

Final player model
Given the limited time, each machine would be limited in detail. To avoid making the assets too simplistic, animations were added for each where there would be simple repeating motions of smaller loose parts such as shaking vents and moving presses.
