MARS :: FUI
A lot (most?) game UIs are cleanly rendered on top of the virtual worlds. It's understandable - clarity, usability, accessibility are paramount.
But I'd be curious to work on a project that tries to ground its UI by making it visually imperfect, damaged, slightly off.

It was never alive in the first place, this is just the paper-thin facade crumbling in the most obvious way.
Democracy doesn’t exist in the good old days of the past, somehow disrupted by the cruelty of the present moment - it lives in the future beyond capitalism.

Even thought Might & Magic IX is a disaster, I do love its UI.
Was probably the best "illuminated book" design in CRPGs until the Pathfinder & Pillars games, over a decade later.
Although, to be fair, Oblivion also went for a similar vibe and it's one of the best things about that game.

CASTLE EISENSTEIN is now on Behance
www.behance.net/gallery/2355...
My new art direction exercise, this time a riff on classic Castle Wolfenstein from 1981.
What if in several decades we'll be able to take the brutality, idiocy and injustice of the present moment and turn them into entertainment?

Just like in 1981 developer Silas Warner managed to distil the horrors of World War 2 into a simple stealth adventure game for Apple II computers - the time may come, when the tragedy of here and now will too become nothing more than background scenery.

Inspired by the thin lines and solid color fills of Moebius, Josan Gonzalez and BakaArts - “Castle Eisenstein” is my riff on Silas’ work and a way to imagine a similar game, made sometime in the (hopefully) brighter future.

FOBOS - the top operating system in the world of SeverLink
The players will be using it a lot during the game, and we wanted to make sure the experience would work for both keyboard and gamepad. The login screen alone was an interesting challenge!

I’ll allow myself a mini-crashout, since I’m still a bit high from anaesthesia
So every AAA game is Duke Nukem Forever now, right? Like, why can’t a multi-bajillion dollar company make “a” Prince of Persia? You guys used to crank out one of these a year 20 years ago

Finally trying Resident Evil 4 with HD Project installed and it's beautiful. Weirdly enough - a very cozy game for me, largely thanks to its environments, dense with lowpoly detail
HD Project feels like a restoration of a classic art piece - the original vision available in gorgeous clarity.

Back in 2023, SeverLink was just an idea, born out of an aesthetic inspired by Y2K early 2000s games.
