Pierhead Arcade
Category:Commercial Date Completed:21/09/2016 Client:Mechabit Project URL:Product Page

Pierhead Arcade is a game made for virtual reality. It is an entire virtual arcade featuring 16 larger games and a collection of small toys. The games are old classics such as Basketball and Whack-A-Mole. Each game is designed to work well inside VR by making use of physical motions such as throwing and rolling.

For this game I was responsible for the entire art development including the creation of all the arcade machines plus the majority of 'Prize Hut' toys. I also created the environment and frontend elements.

The game is available on PC for both the HTC Vive and Oculus.

For each machine I created the model, illustrations and LOD versions. Each machine required its own branding which had to be both unique and also work as a collection. Images rendered in Marmoset.
