Silhouette of the Sun - Level Design

Sunset Cave

​

In a remote corner of the village, the player will eventually stumble across the dark mouth of a cave, ripe for exploration. If the cave's path is followed unto its end, thus shall appear Hiruko, a major deity in Japanese mythology (who just so happens to be the eldest brother of the player character, Amaterasu the Sun Goddess).

Alerted of our presence by his ethereal clones, Hiruko materializes before us and will question the player's intent. Like the shopkeepers from my last post, Hiruko is another Child Instance of my NPC Blueprint. Making this level was a great opportunity for honing my environment, vfx, and blueprinting skills in a contained atmosphere.

Main Menu - UE5 & Others

Silhouette of the Sun is a Shinto-themed PC game that is set in both the mortal plane of Japan and the Heavenly Realms of Japanese folklore. Here I've constructed Main Menu, wherefrom a player can begin and/or customize their game experience.

NPCs - Unreal Engine 5

​

​

​

NPCs are standardized across the entire game. The base "Villager NPCs" utilize the Parent Blueprint which my other NPCs inherit for their distinct Child roles, some of such being shopkeepers, quest characters, stablemasters, bards, etc.

This page details the various gameplay systems which are present across the entire game. Presently, this page details the inventory system, which allows the player to collect and utilize items from chests, other NPCs, and the general environment.

Level Design - zBrush, Maya, Substance Painter, UE5

My roots in the 3D art world stem from my passion for level design and environment art, and thus "Silhouette of the Sun" is partly an excuse to indulge myself with lots of environmental storytelling. Find such environments here.

Beast Mounts - Unreal Engine 5

​

​

​

Mounts are not only the swiftest way of getting around, but also make for lively companions as well as staunch allies in combat. Beast mounts are equipped with a basic moveset, physical abilities, and a special attack.
