Genesis
Shadara takes place in a parallel universe, at a time similar to our antiquity. However, the sun has disappeared, and the populations have gathered around large luminous trees called the Shadaras, in order to escape from the dark zones called the Zalam.
The world
The world is divided into three types of zones.
The Zalam, a place of almost uninhabited darkness.
the Shadara, where the light is and where the wealthier populations live.
The periphery, between the Zalam and the Shadaras.
It is in the periphery that the poor populations live, called Albatrosses because they have very pale skin due to their lack of light.
Characters
You will have the choice between 6 characters very different from each other.
Characters are made up of characteristics, skills, passives and health, energy points, morals and personal goals.
Inside
Shadara is a student project that we realized with 5 game designers and 5 artists. For this project, we had an imposed theme: "The world after".
For this project I participated in the creation of the characters, the universe and the quests. I did the whole layout with the assets. The game artists came afterwards to dress up the layout.
Post Mortem
This project went very well with a solid and attentive team. Having no notion of tabletop role-playing, I remained attentive to the advice and opinions of my fellow students. I am satisfied with the result
