POST MORTEM
REAPRIEVE was a challenging project, created within a very strict timeline and with a team of uni students who all had external commitments. However, I'm very proud with what we were able to achieve within the timeframe given to us.The current version of REAPRIEVE has a strong visual style with incredible writing and music. Working with the REAPRIEVE team has been a great experience and I've learnt so much more about all the nuances and decision making behind game development.In future work on REAPRIEVE, I hope to refine the visual style even further and continue to iterate on character designs and asset textures.

CHARACTER DESIGN
Ruo Lian
As heir to the throne and keeper of a mythical sword, Ruo Lian is sought after by many across the various sects and nations. Although she appears demure and soft to appease her country’s patriarchal systems, Ruo Lian is truly strong-willed and resolute. She is well-versed in the art of war and oversees her nation as a military tactician.
CHARACTER DESIGN
Qiu Ye
Qiu Ye grew up as the Guardian of the Bamboo Village before being recruited to serve the palace and protect the princess. Alongside an overflowing ego, Qiu Ye is ruthless and pragmatic - never wavering from her decisions and morals. She is skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship, far surpassing her peers. Above all, she is devoted to the princess.
