Stunlock Studios has published a new developer diary that explores the art and visuals in the upcoming vampire survival title V Rising. Art Director Johan Wahlback shared several images from the game and discussed how mood is created through the game’s atmosphere. The design of the characters, the gothic themes, and the contrast between humans and vampires are also explored.
“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and you become the ultimate terror. We want you to feel powerful, but we also want to turn the tables from time to time to amplify the survival aspect of the game. The humans arm up for war, and your first encounter with a vampire hunter might end up with you doing your best to flee. Suddenly the hunter becomes the hunted. When we designed the vampire, we had a couple of key points to achieve.”
The developer diary also addresses questions sent in by the community that span a number of topics including inspiration, lore, color palettes, and much more.
The game is currently in development and is expected to enter beta testing later in 2021.
