Dreambound is a game project that was made by me and 9 other students where I was the sole VFX-artist during the development.
Dreambound is about a little girl named Edith who is afraid of the darkness. One night when she is going to sleep she suddently wakes up in a dreamworld where she will need to face her fear of the darkness. The game is a small turned-based RPG where you will meet different types of challenges such as combat, puzzles etc.
The game will soon be release on Itch for everyone to try out!
This is Edith's basic arrow attack and the effect has a lot of inspiration from Zelda and the breath of the wild game.
My goal with creating this effect was to make it look good but be as optimized as possible, the materials created for this effect are quite simple with more focus on the textures. And to keep every particle system as "cheap" as possible i always set a maximum amounts of particles emitted. So this effect for example is made by around 15 particles total.
Any feedback is always welcomed! :D
I want to thank everyone on the team for such a great experience!.
