Zenless Zone Zero, Ultimate Redesigns Pt1

(September, 2025)

Having missed the Genshin Impact craze during the pandemic, HoYo was finally able to capture me with their action game, Zenless Zone Zero. I've been in love with this game's characters, gameplay, and art direction. Playing this game has inspired me to try my hand at designing in this style and I've learned a lot. Being able to hear the original has taught me HoYo mix their cutscenes a certain way, the high frequencies are very present. I've also learned to lean into the overexaggerated effects to match the games signature overexaggerated animation, I plan to do every character in the game, but for now, here are the first three. The videos are the result, and a breakdown, layer by layer. 

Welcome!

Hi, I'm Darius Friedhof, an Audio Programmer, Designer, and Engineer from Lake Forest, California.

After completing my BS in Game Design and Interactive Media, I went back to UCI to complete a Masters in Computer Science. With a deep passion for Game Design and Technical Audio, I am excited to build a foundation in AI and Machine Learning and find the crossroads between that and entertainment software.
