Planning
Core Design: Dog Behavior as Gameplay
Authentic Actions: Sniff, wag, fetch, bark, and mark territory—these aren't just animations, they're your interactive language.
Meaningful Choices: Every action influences your path to one of three endings: trust humans, become independent, or find your own home.
Living World: Interact with humans and wildlife, claim territory, and follow a dynamic quest log to unfold your unique story.

Art
2D Style: Illustrated final ending scenes and designed UI; utilized a crayon-textured, child-like art style for seamless integration with 3D elements.
3D Style: Customized a low-poly aesthetic using flat-color models, reduced detailing, and a low-saturation palette to evoke a relaxing, cute vibe that aligns with the animal-centric narrative.
Ensuring harmony between the 2D and 3D art was a key priority to provide players with a seamless visual experience. I regard this commitment to stylistic consistency across different artistic mediums as a fundamental principle of game art direction.
