Charlotte is set in a steampunk-style environment inside a large house. The setting has a painted texture for its style and is oriented in isometric view. You play as a little girl named Charlotte who wishes to escape the house and sneak past its robots. Overall, making a custom character controller for the game view and the smart material for the game’s textures were the biggest accomplishments of the project, but a lot of love was put into Charlotte herself as well.

I definitely had too big of a scope for the game originally, and I have learned from that. Given all the technical issues I constantly ran into along with overloading on classes this term, I had to cut a lot out of my game that I originally planned on adding. I didn’t populate my environment as much as I would’ve liked, and my original texturing style would include lineart to build on the 2D/3D illusion that I was aiming for. My smart material did a lot of the heavy lifting, but lineart had to be hand drawn, which was too time consuming for all the assets I wanted to make. Alongside that, I used mixamo animations instead of making my own. I learned how to use motion capture, which I really wanted to implement into the game, but I had to cut corners in order to get the game done in time. Overall, I’m proud of what I was able to get done despite all the hardships this term, but I wish I didn’t bite off more than I can chew as well. Thank you for the wonderful class and hope you like Charlotte!
