My senior game team, The Deans, created Ascension—a third-person, 3D puzzle platformer where you play as Orion as he makes his way through Krino in a trial to become a God. My role in the team was to create and place most of the environment art throughout the game, which mostly consisted of organic props, such as rocks, trees, foliage, etc.
