TEASER TRAILER

"But, you weren't born an aristocrat. You're not noble, Vin. You don't have to play by their rules and that makes you even more powerful" - Kelsier

Building our version of Luthadel

As we began our adventure, the team's goal was to produce an immersive, accurate portrayal of what Luthadel may look like. The idea was to produce and offer fans with something from their fantasies that they could relate with while yet feeling unique.

Luthadel has been repressed for a thousand years, serving as a backdrop to the war between Lord Ruler's totalitarian authority and Kelsier's band of misfits guerilla operation.

The team had several pillars to follow while developing the concept and foundations for the art direction for Ashes Project: gritty, oppressive, contrast, and stylized reality.

A city covered in ashes for a thousand years

The planet of Scadrial is in the midst of a transition from the Middle Ages to an industrial era comparable to the Victorian era, therefore Luthadel needs to present a gritty and extremely atmospheric aesthetic. Furthermore, the city has been frozen in time for a thousand years, with culture heavily invested in a class system mixed with some form of theocracy, and the Lord ruler has suppressed certain technological advances such as electricity or powder, providing us with a very interesting canvas to depict the world of Mistborn's first novel.

EARLY GAMEPLAY PROTOTYPE

The purpose of this prototype was to obtain a first impression of what it could be like to move around and use some of the unique talents that a Mistborn has by burning Steel, such as:

Allomantic leaps, flying, coin shoots, pull and push, and other maneuvers

WHAT KIND OF GAME MISTBORN COULD BE LIKE?

ELEVATOR PITCH

Inspired by Insomniac's Spider-Man open-world premise, but with an sandbox approach to stealth/action goals set within Brandon Sanderson's fantasy world of the first Mistborn novel.

As a Mistborn, employ the whole range of magical talents, as well as the specialities of your companions, to wander endlessly around Luthadel and complete the steps required to bring down the Lord Ruler empire.
