"Pelipel" is a long term personal game project I am developing on the side. Meet the main character, Whuk Hirora! I wanted to make an open world game revolving around legends from my home island Pohnpei. The title "Pelipel" comes from my native language meaning tattoos. Some of the biggest inspirations for this project are my love for open world games such as the "Zelda: Breath of The Wild", to name a recent one, classic open world platformer games such as Jak & Daxter and Ratchet and Clank. These types of games are ultimately what I want to accomplish through my game in terms of game design, gameplay, and gamer experience. These images are some previews of some concepting I've done through gameplay and world building to get the ideas together and brainstorm.
