TERRA MELIOR

TerraMeliorRPG | TBD

TERRA MELIOR is a sci fi RPG shooter with challenging gameplay, an artistic style, and a chilling story. The adventure takes place on a harsh planet of ice and snow overrun by a monster apocalypse. You play as a soldier re-animated by the flames of a dark magic she discovered. The game has 3rd person shooting (not cover based – you’ll be dodging instead!), as well as melee and magic abilities, and focuses on creative, challenging enemies, and exhilarating boss battles. There is an in-depth character system that includes gameplay mechanics like snow depth, stamina, and poise. The game will be released on Windows and Mac. There will be a Kickstarter (to be announced!) that will let you get the game at a discount.

I explain the new interconnected world design, and show how I created the moods of each area with render settings and post FX.

Hey all!

I decided to make all (or most) of the world in one level, and to make everything smaller. It was just too massive and boring before. But now, I have small areas that are all connected to each other, sort of like how Dark Souls is set up. But much simpler of course.

SETTING THE MOOD:

ISLAND LIFE - before post FX

After post FX

In addition to creating the world, I experimented with render settings (fog, ambient light, sunlight) and made different post-FX filters for each area. It should be cool to see things shift as you go from area to area. In order to find settings that would work well for the entire areas, I took several screenshots and made sure to include different angles of the player to make sure her skin didn't turn green or something :P
