Rift City Rebels is a 2D platform fighter, and was the final term project for my class at Red River College. It was a lot of fun to work on all aspects of the game, but my favourite by far was developing different visual effects to support the amazing characters my classmates created. Here are some of the more fun ones.
Magical-girl inspired teleport effect for EK-0, the adventurous android. Model and animation by Annie Wiebe.
Demonstration of the parameters available for the teleport effect. The galaxy effect is done as a cubemap, to exaggerate the effect of looking through the character into another space.
Marker to indicate the teleport point for Kite, the rabbit ninja. Scroll model and textures by Winson Ta.
Scroll options
A goop explosion effect for Kane, the corrupt CEO.
Animation and screen crack effect for Warden. Model by Takkaya Leeladechakul.
