The Winter Wasteland

Winter Wasteland

Here snow blankets the land and the trees are all black with death—strangled by the frost. Here the sun doesn’t smile. The night is eternal. The moon is nothing but an empty shell and the stars don’t sparkle like ours. They’re dull and faint, like stale bread crumbs scattered across the sky.

Fire is a rare gift, but make sure to panic if you see that friendly, warm, yellow light; the dwarves have resorted to cannibalism and they’re not the only ones. Everybody wants to live.

It’s so cold that you can’t even feel your hands. Oh, that’s right. You don’t have hands any more. You had to get mechanical ones because yours froze and broke off years ago.

This is just a concept we came up for within the world. We realized that we needed to define a world before a story which is why we were running around in circles about game mechanics and story line. However in this world, being the 3d modeller, I can imagine a LOT of work that would be needed in order to complete the game. For example with many different factions of characters I would have to model and rig everything which in a semester on my own would be hell.

I drew up a quick piece of concept art in 2 hours to represent how I saw the world.
