Sprite Art - Stories of Mara

Stories of Mara - An episodic slice of life tale about a diverse cast of characters.

I started this project at the beginning of my time in Chibig. I was an intern then, and they proposed me to do -from scratch- a visual novel based on their most famoues videogame, Summer in Mara.

So, I did! I worked with Unity, with a specialized plugin called Fungus, to which my programmer, Pablo, could make changes to achieve the best possible experience. I wrote the script with the help of Summer in Mara's writer, Diego, and we put together the first chapter of a total of four. I also had the help of Caro Waro (https://www.instagram.com/caro.waro/ ) and Danna Reyes - who made of the cover and some backgrounds ( https://www.artstation.com/danalynreyes ).

Due to resources, the project could not be finished as expected, so it was finished with one more chapter that ended the story. I am responsible for art and script of this project, and I made and remade sprites, expanding the range of expressions and places in which the story took place. I designed a minigame, in which you gave ship models to your neighbors to win their affection.

This is my first published videogame, and you can play it for free here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1647780/Stories_of_Mara/
