The Design

About Opurgimize Videospiel-UI

Es handelt sich um ein bahnbrechendes Science-Fiction-Rollenspiel, das Spieler in eine dystopische Zukunft versetzt, die von genetischer Manipulation und gesellschaftlichen Spaltungen geprägt ist. In dieser futuristischen Welt schlüpfen Spieler in die Rollen von Individuen, die sich in einer zwischen der genetisch verbesserten Elite und der genetisch benachteiligten Unterschicht aufgeteilten Welt bewegen. Kernstück des Spieldesigns ist eine plattformübergreifende Benutzeroberfläche, die unterschiedlichen Spielpräferenzen gerecht wird und die Zugänglichkeit über verschiedene Geräte hinweg sicherstellt. Es bietet ein immersives Spielerlebnis, das Spieler dazu herausfordert, diese Science-Fiction-Welt zu erkunden.

Inspiration: I am inspired by classic science fiction literature, movies, and games that spark my imagination and guide me in creating my science fiction world. Science fiction is often a vehicle for exploring complex social, political, and ethical issues. My games are inspired by the desire to explore and comment on contemporary issues through a futuristic lens. I was also inspired by Mr. Michael Wersheim Beresin, a talented 3D artist, and I used his 3D characters as robots for my projects.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2022 in the Bay Area and finished in March 2024 in Martinez.
Operation Flow: Operation/Flow/Interaction: Players navigate Opurgimize's menu to access game modes. They customize characters and loadouts.
