Game Description
Altarune is a tower-offense game that I am currently leading development for. Set in a top-down, magi-tech, 3D pixel-art style, below are showcases of assets I've implemented and polished in engine!

3D Pixelation
t3ssel8r style rendering achieved via toon shading, line-art render pass, and edge highlights.
The pixel pass is achieved by sampling the screen texture in blocks. The render pass sends the block's center pixel coordinate to the pixel shader, which uses this value to resample the render texture via point filtering, resulting in surrounding points matching the color of the block center.
Battery
Model by Lily Carras
Implemented lighting and circuitry shader for clear telegraph of effective area
