Nerian, emotionally complex and extremely loyal to Osiris, the sentient spaceship, is an important non-player character in the current demo of Imperfection (showcased in Milan Games Week 2024).

Having little to no time for proper character design and writing iteration, I searched for a voice actress I knew from a previous collaboration. 

As I'd already directed her, I knew her voice, acting style, and ideal characterisation. Therefore, having some fixed elements in mind (like Nerien's background and part of her personality), I completed the character design and writing by tailoring my content on the actress' timbre and performance. 

In the meantime, I shortened the character sheet with the essential information needed by the concept artist, and provided constant feedback to her. Reference pictures (not available on this portfolio) were also shared on a dedicated Miro page to support her work with some visual.

The 3D model, videos from the demo and post-produced effects on Nerian's voice will be soon added to this section! In the meantime, here you'll find documentation, sketches, and audio samples.

Character Designed in September-October 2024.
