Project Path of the Balam
This is a team project I've been working on recently at Brainstorm. The premise is a God of War style action game in a Mayan setting. Hope you enjoy!
The hero fights the first boss, the Feathered Serpent, atop the pyramid of the Sun.
Balams are mortals born with a higher soul. From left to right: hero, main villain, main ally.
The Red Balam, our protagonist, is a weary warrior coming back home, only to find chaos and destruction.
The White Balam, the hero's twin, is a priest who studies the mysteries of the underworld, and ends up going too far.
The Black Balam is a watchful guardian who protects the cities from underworld spirits.
Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent God, is our first boss. Having swallowed the sun in his hunger for power, he struggles to contain it.
Unable to control the sun's power, Kukulkan transforms into his giant serpent form mid-fight.
Burning from the inside, the boss becomes more and more crazed as you finally destroy him.
