I wanted to try making small, simple animations to post on my Instagram story, so I attempted one using Procreate’s new animation assist feature. It’s a really nice addition to the app and makes animating soooooo much easier, I highly recommend it!
Here’s the animation I made for a Let’s Make A Boba of the Day story post I’m planning on continuing for my Instagram!
Back in April 2019, I wrote an interactive story for a game about a wolf-human named TianLang who has the amazing superpower of making the perfect boba drink for his customers at A Boba Cafe. I wanted to make this game a reality, and what better time to start than now! 🙌🏻
When I first started grad school at USC for Interactive Media and Games in August 2018, I had little (if not no) experience in Unity. I was limited in my ability to create digital prototypes in a timely manner, which led to me not being able to take my time on personal projects amidst my chaotic school schedule. However, in less than a year, I was able to become proficient and comfortable enough with Unity to attempt prototyping and coding for my own purposes.
I started making my game in December 2019 while I was on Winter Break. Now that school started again, it’ll take a while to make my game since I’ll be balancing school work with personal work. But I’m determined to keep working on it to bring my stories and characters to life! I hope you all look forward to seeing A Boba Cafe! 🙆🏻♀️💕 In the meantime, here are some images of my characters (from left to right) - Qilin, Bobasaur, and TianLang!
