“The Night Sky Broke in Open Stride as Weary Stars Increased”
~ Aural Method
Starborn Orion is an ongoing project that I am working on with another programmer, I am in charge of level design and art.
Throughout the development, I was challenged to create a visually stunning dungeon-like level that challenged the player as well as immersed them within the game world in a dark fantasy-like aesthetic that told the story of the character.
Throughout the development of the environment, I wanted to create a visually stunning dungeon-like level that told the story of the character Starborn Orion. He is a self-proclaimed god within a much larger world that was born from the stars, thus born blind from the light that gave birth to him.
Orion tricked The humans which were in the game world; starved of meaning, by selling them lies of grandeur within the religion that he created: Stars of The Lid. Humans blindly followed him to unimaginable extents like taking their own eyes as offerings to prove their worth within the religion. Orion's purpose was to acquire enough knowledge in order to find a way to return himself to the stars, as he had been banished to Earth.
