Bait and Bleed ||

Can any man bred to kill for his country be trusted not to kill for himself?

ABOUT

Bait and Bleed, which started as a game concept made for ELVTR’s Game Narrative Design course, has since grown into my first major game pitch. Set in an alternate version of World War 1, you play as Grigoriy Kislov, a Russian Sergeant sent to a desolate frontline trench used as a dumping ground for criminals the Russian government doesn’t know what to do with. As you get to know your comrades, murders begin to occur, and it’s up to you to figure out the larger mystery of the trench.

The game draws from current events to shine light on/critique modern warfare and its negative effect on people from all sides.

What did I do?

As my first (for now) solo game, I am responsible for creating all 2D assets for the game.

This includes all character portraits for the 9 major characters. A big challenge of this project was to not only make the characters look different enough to be identifiable on sight - especially as the 3D character models are much simpler - but as realistic to the 1900’s time period as possible. From referencing Russian soldier uniforms to hairstyles of the time period, a lot of work was put into making these characters visually appealing, yet just as much the kind of people one could see on the street - all while posing as visual representations of the different consequences of war.
