Artful Alliance

Artful Alliance explores the world of graffiti and street art culture in a fantasy New York as one of the spray-painted characters themselves. Your goal is to leave as much artistic influence behind as possible to thwart the city’s new “cleanup campaign,” which threatens to wash away the player character’s entire world. Navigate through the platforming city segments, leaving your mark on the city by tagging the surrounding areas. Venture deeper into encounters in the graffiti world to fight enemies and meet other graffiti characters that will join you on your adventure.

Originally designed, illustrated, and written during a single semester, Artful Alliance is a combination of 2D isometric dungeon crawler and platforming gameplay.

I was the lead artist on Artful Alliance, developed alongside a small team of four including myself, Amari O’Connor, Matthew Merritt, Michael Merritt, and Lyd Hallett. I illustrated and animated each character and designed and built the game’s environments.
