AFTER SCHOOL HEROES is an Information Design thesis project that aims to address body image issues of men. It is designed with classic RPG elements which aimed to address and spread awareness on men’s body image issues. It aims to highlight the video game hero’s body diversity which reflects the body types of men everywhere.
The thesis project comes in the form of a video game prototype, which was fully created in and powered by Figma. All assets were created in Procreate with the use of 3D modelling programs such as Blender and EasyPose.
The game’s campaign goes through a series of prompts, challenges, as well as enemy battles, used in order to increase the main character’s statistics, as well as reaching the ending, as inspired by the classic RPG format. The campaign now also contains a recurring storyline of the character’s “hero’s journey” tackling self-doubt and body image insecurities as they struggle to achieve the game’s end goal.
