Code: Sundown
2024 - 2025
Code: Sundown is my current ongoing project, as a way to expand my technical and imaginative design skills. Code: Sundown is a postapocalyptic setting where the environment is harsh and unforgiving, yet humanity has manage to survive and even thrive with the discovery of ancient technology. Filled with many characters to meet, weapons to find, mutants to fight, will you discover what secrets lie among the ruins of the old world?
Character design
Coming up with an idea for a post apocalyptic style of character came with many interesting challenges. First one was on what kind of apocalypse to base it on? From steampunk to dieselpunk, I tried to explore as many ideas, shapes and values that would go into making the characters recognizable.
One of the main ideas that I decided to stick with was that each playable character and npc has a disability of sorts, something to provide a unique challenge to both the character and the player.
Prop design
When it came to designing the equipment for the survivors, I thought about what kind of materials would be available in a post apocalyptic setting, as most of the items would be cobbled together using scraps.
I focused on the practicality and usefulness of the items, given that a dire survival situation would leave little room for decor. Still, I wanted to leave some personal touches that would describe the character using said item.
