Character Design
Who is Ruby?
A mischievous young vampire who runs away from home and becomes trapped in endless daylight. Her silhouette, oversized horns, cape, and expressive poses were designed together so the character reads clearly in both concept art and gameplay.

Character Motion Studies
Four animation tests bring the same design into motion, covering idle behavior, gesture, expression, and movement readability.
Level Art
Title-Screen Staging
Title-screen staging and environment presentation for Ruby's opening view.
From reference to playable space
The original Figma process material is rebuilt here in English: concept references, early blockouts, modular wireframes, and the in-engine readability pass are shown as separate evidence rather than as full presentation slides.
