Welcome to the world of Avanfall!
The world of the main campaign is split into four "Arcs", each of which had different themes and locations but a larger overarching storyline. During my time developing the game, my art and style has grown considerably, which will be reflected between Arc to Arc.
I will touch on aspects of the story as they are relevant to the art and design I made to correspond to it.
I will also be covering other aspects in chronological order.
Arc 1: Charmbury Dreams
Arc 3: Higher Powers
Arc 2: Special Delivery
Arc 4: Little Whispers
Each arc's banner has a secret message written in "Psyren", a language I invented for the game.

Five individuals start on a train - a train to the town of Charmbury; a progressive place where dreams are made. No hindrances based on your race, like many other aspects of this world. Each character has a reason in mind to visit this place.
Arc 1: Charmbury Dreams
Arc 1 of Avanfall started in a pre-covid world and largely ended when the pandemic began.
What I initially thought of as death for my big project turned out to be one of the biggest boons I could have asked for as we reinvented the game online, allowing me to utilise my graphic and design expertise to create a fully immersive design environment.
​
The game had only covered about 4 sessions before the pandemic began and after a few months, I asked the players if they would like to continue.
​
A few of them agreed and we finished off the arc with the players with everybody arriving at the intended destination - the town of Charmbury.
Otto Oswald;
Off to start a business.
Jimmy 014;
Looking to settle a score.
Indigo Blue;
Investigate local attacks.
Amelia Thekla;
Set to attend a university.
Barry King;
On the run.
In the town of Charmbury; things are not always as they seem. Otto looks to have been targeted for death; a mysterious black market figure contacts Jimmy; Indigo finds that her role in her job isn't as secure as she believed and we meet Sami - the final member of the party.
Arc 2: Special Delivery
It was here we would finally have the definitive cast of characters and meet some new characters along the way.
​
Otto, Jimmy, Indigo and Sami would become the final versions of the Avanfall cast with two guests appearing along the path for a short while - the bodyguard Amaranth (or Amy) and Sami's brother, Phoenix.
