Stella - First flight
Stella was an indie game started by a small group of volunteers on a tech meet group with a love for classic side scroll shooter games from the 80’s like Phoenix or Contra.
While the side-scroller or platform games have been done and redone so many times, there’s still some real love for this type of game, especially on new casual platforms, like on iOS.
In this homage to the genre, I focused on aesthetics. I, however, neglected the gameplay, as it was already quite perfected. The aesthetics used simple 3d models as elements, with higher complexity in lighting effects and dynamic backgrounds.
