Ministrare: Communication and Stratgey Game

"As the ruling Lord of the great city of Ministrare, you must not only lead and protect you people. But you must also contend with the neighboring city and the other dangers that lurk off toward the mountains. Not all you meet will like how you came to power, but you must show them how you are strong. Whether that be by force or wit, that is your path to chose."

Ministrare is a highly communication based game, where the player choices all effect how the game will progress. Thoughout the game the player will have to read and decern where you stand with your council. Not only will their happiness, not only lead to more productive city. But it will also keep them from tricking, leading you to failure.

This project was created and produced by a team of 7, and took place over the course of four months. Taking the role as the background artist. I work closely with both the leader of the project as well as a character artist. The goal for the game aesthetic, was to create a european mediveal feel with drawing archetural influence from Constantiople.

As the background artist, I was resonsible for determining majority of the colors and lighting used in the game. As well creating all eight backgrounds and storyboarding the various ending to the game. Going into this project, I new the biggest challenge for me, was going to be maintain a certian visual perspective and lighting for each the backgrounds in the world.

I knew I wanted the background to relect where they where on the map, not simiply be room that could be anywhere. I was able to do this by using glimpes the exterior world and light direction to show their location. After creating the city map, I started with the scholars room. Then moved onto merchant's tent, forge, spymaster's corner, and the enemy city rulers chambers.
