Knights of Valour
PS4 / IGS
Project Overview
"Knights of Valour" is a long-established IP from IGS, holding many childhood memories for numerous fans. Initially released on arcade machines, we have remastered it for the PS4 platform. Knights of Valour is a 3D side-scrolling action game with a Three Kingdoms fantasy theme. To satisfy the nostalgic feelings of veteran players, our team has transformed the arcade-era gameplay features, combat feel, and retro character and art style into a 3D version that remains true to the original. Classic elements such as secret paths and special stages have also been preserved. Additionally, there are numerous generals, outfits, and weapons to choose from, providing players with an exhilarating and intense combat experience!
My Role
In this project, I primarily designed numerous character appearances, weapons, and outfits based on character traits and planning requirements, and created their 3D models and textures, totaling over 100 assets. Additionally, I handled some promotional output images and chibified the original characters.

Showcase
Here's a collection of some works from this project. Most of the 3D models were created entirely by me, from initial concept design to final 3D production, demonstrating my design skills. In the game, characters share a common skeleton system, and our designs had to work within this framework. I strived to create unique and distinct designs that still fit the shared skeleton. Please refer to the captions for additional details.
