AENiGMA GAME: STORM HACKER - The Endless Masquerade

I am beginning to seek new long-term Concept Art/VisDev opportunities (potentially even Art Direction), so I thought I'd share some more concept art from my own passion project.

Concept Art for my solo game dev project AENiGMA GAME: STORM HACKER. I have included the image I shared the other day to provide additional context. Low poly but detailed hand painted reusable textures and kit-bashing my low poly models is my way around doing this as a solo project responsibly but still having a distinctive personality.

These are for the Halloween Themed level: "The Endless Masquerade."

Lore
"On a planet at war for more years than we have the heart to count, each nation would put aside their differences, trauma, and hate to spend one night a year as equals adorn with the most fantastic of costumes on what would become this planet's take on all Hallows Eve.

That is till one day, the day of peace no longer mattered, the children who went out that night turned to ash. Then as if to mock the planet, the Reality Storm that appeared here after Broken Monday, grew in the war-torn rubble separating the nations even more, the storm clouded the view of their enemies, making them appear less and less human.

But with time something curious happened, as if calmed by temperament, the storm would begin to slow on that ancient night of All Hallows Eve, villagers could come and go from the storm as they please, inside the storm it was as if there was memories of a time long far gone, embellished by the fantasies of their youth. The festival was a light for but one night, the ones who entered swore they even saw their dead loved ones dance alongside them once more.

It is because of this when a loved one passes, it has become new tradition to leave their body to the growing storm... so they too can join, The Endless Masquerade."
