Demonic Circus VisDev project
Demonic Circus is my final project for my Concept Art Master's Degree. It's a roguelike game about battling in a circus ruled by a demon in order to get the soul you sold to him back.
The protagonist is a 40 year old woman that sold her soul (and her eye) to save her husband, and now after having divorved him, she wants to start rebuilding her life by getting her soul back.
She will have a new home, new friends, and new powers, as well as different demonic foes to beat each show in order to try to defeat the eye collecting demon.
Protagonist outside of her home, ready to approach the circus one more night
Vega, the protagonist. 40 year old woman who sold her soul (and her eye) to the circus demon to save her husband, and now, having divorced him, she will start rebuilding her life by getting her soul back
Big Top exterior. Eye motifs correlate directly with the soul and eye collecting demon that rules it.
Celine The Automaton. Companion and guide to Vega, she will also craft her new weapons and reveal the circus’ secrets.
The cart where Vega and Celine will be living together, also the player’s home base.
Interior of the cart. Bottom floor is where Celine runs her fortune telling buisness, and where the player can get new weapons and improve their stats. Top floor is Vega’s room, that will change through her self discovery story.
Main stage where all combats will take place. Lighting and color changes will make each encounter unique.
Fire breather miniboss: he fights with demonic fire through big area attacks.
Beast Tamer miniboss: conducts his demonic beasts to fight for him while he hides in the back behind his mask.
The circus’ demonic beasts resemble traditional cirus animal, but they all have mysterious eye motifs and otherworldly powers.
The ring siblings miniboss: disciplined twins that use demonic rings to fight at the same time.
The acrobat miniboss: a fierce close combat attacker with fancy tricks and pirouettes.
The trapeze artist miniboss: She keeps herself ageless through demonic magic to performe forever with her troupe. She also develops a rivalry with the protagonist at some point.
The shop. The player can aquire snacks and merchandise to temporarily improve their stats between rounds.
Shop development. Initially it was going to be an outside cart, but a closed doors establishment fitted the project’s vibes better.
Ringleader and Circus’ Boss: The circus demon. The final boss the player will have to beat.
Final boss battle with the circus demon. Will Vega be able to succeed in getting her soul back?
