Stalk Market
Responsible for: Character Modeling, Rigging, Texturing, and Animation
Stalk Market is an experimental supply side economics manipulation game centered around maximizing stock portfolios value based on the tides of the market and how you intereact with the strange goobers in your backyard.
Goobers
Zigglebobs Gigglegongs: The representation of an erratic tech stock, inspired by frat/finance bro attire (bright polo + khaki shorts)
Dow Jones Industrial Average: The only real stock in the game. He is a slow and steady giant, to represent the slow but large nature of index funds like the dow. He is sort of a mix of an elephant and a sea slug, a big and a slow thing respectively.
Dubank Holdings: A medium sized ETF. As a contrast to the newgen finance kid Zigglebob, he represents the old fashioned way of investing. A stuffy businessman who just puts money in and lets it ride with full trust in the system.
Additionally there are ‘eating’ animations for each goober relating to the ‘ranching’ aspect of the game where you kill one goober to get a burger, then feed it to the goober you want to multiply therefore increasing its value in your holdings.
There is also a separate ‘bloated’ pass for each of their normal animations so you can tell which ones you have already fed.

In addition to the characters I was responsible for the music, the melee animations, and various small game feel tasks.
