Sand Nomads are a group of human Outlaws, living a restless life on Leir III. Ignored by the UEE and the Outsiders, they forming small wandering groups, endangered by the Valakkar and the raging sandstorms of the planet.
Appearance
Sand Nomads wearing in the Homestead Demo a tight linen-like cloth skirt and trousers in combination with a armored suit to protect their body. They also wear a hood - similar to a tallit or a berber cheich. But instead of a veil (typical for the chich) to protect their eyes, mouth and nose from sand grains, they use a special mask which covers mouth and face. In the demo they speak also a cryptic high-pitched language.
Development
The Desert Nomad game character was made for the 2016 CitizenCon presentation in the fall as basically one of the enemy soldiers in the demo on an idea by Josh Herman.[2] Later on this character was converted to a wearable player armor/costume. This character was created on a tight deadline in about four weeks, mostly by James Ku. Josh Herman made the hires sculpt of the helmet. Omar Aweidah made the hires sculpt of the arm armor. The concept illustration was done by Jeremiah Lee who labeled the model "desert Nomad Character.[3][4]
The game mesh is 68k tris and there are two texture sets at 4k each.[3]
