Description
Jumper: Griffin's Story, Wii/PS2Level 1:3 Rome Arena
These are screenshots of the third level I worked on for Jumper, at Collision Studios. We had only 5 months to make the game, and we used the Visious Engine=
for basically a PS2 game. I was the primary environment artist for this level of the game.

I just saw Jumper recently, and despite the reviews, I personally liked it! So a friend of mine got me this game as a Christmas present. I don't know what to think about it - I mean although I'm not crazy about it, I do like it a lot. I just wish it were longer! But I can most definitely tell you guys were rushed 
I'm sorry you got stuck with this project - I know you didn't have any fun with it >.<;

Sorry you had to play that game. We had to rush making the game in 5 months, which is barely enough time to make a demo let alone a full game. And we had to basicaly make it for PS2, but everything turned out really bad looking when exported to PS2. Lighting was always too dark, textures looked horrible, and tons of bugs. Yeah if we had maybe a year or more and it was a Wii only game,....then maybe we could have made something good. We had a good team together (%95 of the people who worked on it are gone now, including me), so we could have done good things.
I glad at least someone kinda enjoyed the game. lol

Nice levels! It's so awesome to see your work in something people are going to buy and play. 
Vicious eh? We tried that out at my company but were frustrated by the point and click scripting system. Did you experience any of that?

We hate Vicious with a passion! And were still stuck with it for our current project. I know it's a nightmare for the programmers, but us artist hate it just as much I think. The engine is extremly crappy at lighting so dynamic objects don't even light correctly. And I'm not even mentioning how bad the engine works with PS2.

Oh no, that's horrible!! My company is evaluating engines for an upcoming game and so far they've had me explore Torque and Vicious for a few days each, and I wasn't happy with either!
I also saw that they didn't even show you the movie before you had to make the game for it! Jeez.. and to think, I was mad about our licensors not sending us their packet of environment refs until the art team already finished the environment art for the game. We had to redo most of it, but at least we got refs eventually!

We only get a small amount of concept art or pictures from the movie. But most of the time, these pictures do noting to really help us. Yeah making budget games based on movies is not exactly fun.

Yeah that was a good scene. Too bad we didn't get to see the movie or any clips of the movie until it came out. Which was long after we finished working on the game.
