DESIGN FOCUS

I aimed to create an immersive desert landscape blending survival, exploration, and strategic game play. Drawing from the fractured world of post-apocalyptic clans, my focus was on delivering a captivating experience that seamlessly integrates these elements.

The level offers dynamic gameplay with resource gathering, sandstorms, and crafting. Players navigate the desert with agility and combat skills, mastering sand dune traversal and pick-up driving.

The level unfolds in the vast desert dunes of the Sahari Clan and the treacherous outlaw lands of the Matahari tribe. The atmosphere is tense, with the constant threat of sandstorms and the territorial disputes between clans. The sacred temple is a hidden oasis, shrouded in mystery.
