Project Name: Blood Metal
Studios: Art of WEZ
Year: 2012 Rebooted in 2023
Product Type: Open World Action RPG
My Role: Creator | Concept Artist
When I originally worked on this idea back in the day it was a fantasy game concept where high fantasy and dark fantasy coexisted, the idea was disturbing corners hidden in a fantasy world. When I revisited it, I saw it's corners more as a world with endless history. I wanted to invoke the feeling of games like Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, or Panzer Dragoon in the dungeons you would visit. For open world games having weenies that lead the player to curious locations are important I wanted to make even the landscape in the distance somewhere you'd want to visit. This was inspired by a lot of my own travel where I would purposefully go off the beaten path and find strange beautiful places.
