There are currently 120+ assets that Ryan custom-created for this application.
Canons & Krakens - Personal Project
Cannons & Krakens is an mobile game project in development solely by Ryan Bost. With the idea of a tabletop roleplaying game about swashbuckling on the high seas, Ryan hopes to finish the MVP phase of the project in the coming weeks and start external play-testing. Features include text-based, branching story lines, turn-based melee and ship combat, sailing navigation, and a robust skill system to tie character customization to player choice.
Gobbo Horde - Cameron Schmidt
Gobbo Horde is a game project developed by 3 people. Ryan was responsible for character modeling and animation, props/scenery, shader prototyping, Level of Detail generation for all assets, and level design. Ryan worked from concepts and delivered assets to the programmer while keeping in mind the Blender to Unity pipeline.
