Game Design and Visuals
Under Pressure
-
Style: Realistic with high contrast and atmospheric effects (fog, gas leaks, neon glows)
-
Color Palette:
-
Backgrounds: Muted greys, greens, and browns (decay, corrosion)
-
Accents: Cyan (oxygen), crimson (danger zones), orange (alarms/tech)
-
-
Scenarios Example
Setting: Inside a massive dome with a decaying atmosphere, sirens echoing.
8 players are dropped into the biodome using personal pressure pods instead of parachutes. Pods shoot down from orbit and land with a heavy thud.
Character Designs
-
Survivors in modular gear: pressurized suits, DIY armor, tech visors
-
Gear reflects class roles (scout, heavy, medic – if used)
-
Customizable helmets, gloves, and suit skins
Artistic Direction
World Aesthetic
Dystopian Sci-Fi Survival
Think: The Last of Us meets Metro Exodus inside a futuristic dome.
Visual Identity:
-
Environment constantly looks unstable, worn, and pressurized
-
Textures: Cracked glass, rusted metal, flickering LED lights, foggy condensation
-
Lighting: Mix of natural decay and synthetic light — harsh spotlights in dark corners, neon signs buried in smoke
-
Weather FX: Steam leaks, micro-dust storms, oxygen fogs, collapsing structures
Character Art Style
Design Language:
-
Pressurized survival suits + scavenged gear
-
Modular outfits that mix high-tech gear with scavenger improvisation
-
Visually communicates resourcefulness and adaptation
Visual Markers by Rarity or Class (if used):
-
Oxygen LEDs on helmets/back, glowing based on gear quality
-
More advanced players have sleeker, low-profile gear; beginners look bulkier and patched-up

UI / HUD Aesthetics
Style:
-
Diegetic sci-fi interface – looks like it’s part of the suit HUD
-
Glitches and warning signs appear based on damage or low O2
-
Clean typography (square, all-caps, military console inspired)
Animations:
-
Mini-map pulses like sonar
-
Health bar is a circular pressure gauge
-
Menu transitions: Suit boot-up screens, flickers, slow-loading visors
Audio Direction
Core Audio Identity
Goal: Create a soundscape that heightens tension, reinforces the hostile atmosphere, and immerses the player in a pressurized, unstable environment.
Soundscape Breakdown
Psychological Design Themes
-
Pressure & Breathing: Players should feel the drop in oxygen through audio
-
Environmental Oppression: Constant ambient reminders that survival is fleeting
-
Contrast: Quiet moments become unsettling; chaos is overwhelming
Environmental Sounds
Biomes sound different:
| Zone | Sound Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Industrial Core | Metallic clangs, deep machine hums, steam bursts, hissing vents |
| Bio-Farm Ruins | Wind through broken glass, plant rustling, gasps of old pipes |
| Crater Zone | Tremors, rocks falling, echoing emptiness |
| Flooded Labs | Bubbling water, sonar blips, distorted audio underwater |
| Toxic Swamps | Muffled fog, buzzing insects, intermittent choking sounds |
Dynamic FX:
-
Oxygen low: heartbeat increases, breathing becomes labored, muffled audio filters apply
-
Inside structures: audio becomes more echoed and dampened
-
Dome cracks: sharp whip-like sounds, creaking metal, ambient alarms in background
Player & Suit Audio
First-person priority mix (player always hears themselves clearly):
-
Breathing patterns: Vary by health, oxygen, sprinting
-
Suit compression/decompression: On jump, slide, damage
-
O2 alerts: Progressive — soft beep → gasping → hard alarms
Immersion Cues:
-
Weapon switching has mechanical clunks + air hiss
-
Damage adds pressure leaks: ongoing hiss that increases urgency
