VHEL is a 2-D, story based, stealth focused, real-time tactics game set in a science fiction world known as Nor Prime. It follows the exploits of a young Bhacrio girl named Khana Faust, a courier in the southern region of Ivara, who undergoes strange metaphysical changes from a parasite known as VHEL, originally used as a means to power a destructive anomaly known as Skull over 13 years ago and also a parasitic commodity amongst mammoth-like hydrozoans known as Ragnic. As Khana, the player will explore the continent of Ivara in a rudimentary day to day simulation of her life as a courier while also engaging in confrontations with Ragnic -- usually within an evasive fashion -- in heart-stopping confrontations periodically, using alien tactics and strategies unique to this world alone.
Page Fordalo is Khana's direct equal. Separated mostly by race distinction, her design needed to reflect her personality in a very clear way. To do this, her design shows beauty, strength, grit, and a hint of Gothic bigotry. This version was the first to use gradient mapping techniques for more practical animation uses in Flash Pro 8.
Near-final design.
looking awesome! :D
