Looping Stairs Loading Screen

A calming, looping mobile game loading screen animation designed to create a seamless sense of motion. The piece features a character continuously running along a looping stair structure, while the building itself gradually rises.
The stair structure is loosely inspired by the famous Penrose stairs. The environment is inspired by a real house on the Italian Riviera, combining warm architectural details with a stylised aesthetic to create a visually engaging but relaxing experience. The concept allows for potential interactivity, even within a typically passive screen. Sound design was created using audio sourced from Freesound, adding an ambient layer to support the overall tone of the piece.
Since it's a concept piece for rendering, I added pre-made plants that aren't low-poly. If this was to be imported into a game engine, I would heavily optimise the plants.
