Civilatura

Civilatura is my bachelor project. The goal of the project was to create a stylized 3D environment. I wanted to go through the entire process, concept to final scene. 

The theme of the scene is 'Overgrown City', and it takes place in Berlin many years after some catastrophic event caused almost all humans to disappear. Inspired by Ghibli-movies and games like The Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild, I wanted to focus on a 'soft apocalypse' aesthetic. This focuses less on the destruction and agony after the apocalyptic event and more on the beautiful scene of a forgotten city, which nature has taken back. The mood is friendly and peaceful. 

The scene is only a small slice of an imaginary game. In fact, I was inspired to create this scene because I wanted to play a game like this, with an abandoned, overgrown city that invites players to explore. While many games have post-apocalyptic environments, it is rare to find games in which these environments are friendly and peaceful. In my project, I tried to create that feeling for players and play with the idea of an apocalypse that brings not only destruction, but also beauty and peace.
