Project Grand Vault is a 3rd person action adventure, game with some light rpg elements. The story follows two Treasure Hunters that attempt to move into a new city, only to get caught up in a race to uncover a legendary treasure.
The crisis that transpires during Vance and Maya’s arrival causes them to grow, evolving their abilities and their characters, and molding them from Treasure Hunters into Heroes. To reinforce this arch, we decided to design a visual change that compliments their growth.
Vance has the ability to cover his body in an organic carapace, acting like an armou. This also augments his durability and melee techniques. It initially begins to grow on his right arm and as the story unfolds he gains the ability to summon and dismiss a heavier armor as he willingly chooses.
