Enhancing storytelling through character design for Bearzerk

How can one tell a story in a game, where the storytelling isn’t a central part of it? This project explores how storytelling can be implemented into a game through character- and sprite design, by using already established key art in the game.

The project is made in collaboration with Dadbod Games – the game developer behind the upcoming game Bearzerk on Steam. It focuses on how character design can be a central part of the storytelling in Bearzerk, by using central key art, character design principles and pixel art principles.
