Character concept art for a research shooter set in a technological wasteland inhabited by bio-machines.
World Concept
No one knows how the world reached its current state. Humans have been replaced by biomechanical constructs that constantly fight each other for power and resources. The life of these bio-machines is inevitably tied to war, production, and pillaging.
Silhouette Search
The protagonist is a pilot from the pirate republic of «New Fiuma.»
In the design of the protagonist, various military attributes from the early 20th century were utilized. This includes greatcoats, helmets, armor elements, load-bearing vests, and weaponry from that era. Specifically, the armor of the Italian stormtroopers, the «Arditi, ” served as the main reference. Furthermore, the protagonist’s faction, „Nuovo Fiume, ” is based on a real republic of aerial pirates that once existed in Italy.
The protagonist himself is a biomechanical automaton. Its bones are composed of organic metal, around which muscle cables are woven. This entire bio-construct is encased in a durable steel exoskeleton.
