Peak Rhythm

Environment and Robot Direction

My first task was the environment. The game needed a futuristic, Vienna-inspired city that worked as a VR backdrop, so I focused on readable silhouettes and modular building ideas instead of treating every building as a one-off illustration.

I also worked on the robot design. Since the robot was the thing players climbed on, it had to work as a character, a visual landmark and part of the level structure at the same time. This made the design more practical than a normal character concept.

Style Guide and Character Examples

As the project developed, my work shifted toward keeping the visual direction consistent. I made a style guide and character examples so the team had clearer references than scattered concept images.

After a longer break, I returned to the project and created simplified character designs. The older direction had become too detailed for what the project needed, so I focused on designs that were clearer, faster to use and easier to keep consistent.
