At New Pencil, a small group of artists and programmers worked on an original game concept, Akila. Below are a number of links to level art, concept art and design documentation. You can even download movies of the gameplay if you'd like. We used Unreal and turned a first person shooter into a 3rd person melee and magic combat game. I modeled, textured and lit the environments, scripted the matinee movies and enemy NPC's, wrote the design document and was the lead on fiction development. Many people at New Pencil were involved in all aspects of the demo. Together we created something that I'm very proud of.

The concept art below was created by Scott Fischer, based on the character descriptions we provided.

The environment. (There are also some in the Levels section, but they are bit smaller.)

Here are the other links. Note that there is an Unreal 2k4 version of the map here. If you want to check it out up close and personal, that's the best way. The scale will be a little off and none of the scripted sequences from the demo (that trigger enemies) will work. That's just because we made a mod and the base Unreal doesn't support our unique classes. But it will run fine as a standard map.
