We will present more and more to our community at the launch of our Kickstarter campaign.
But in order to launch the campaign, we need at least 20k people to register to the page. It literally takes a minute to do so, but it would mean the world to us.

2D style concept art

Not all of the concept designs of our characters are made in an ultra-realistic style, many of these are also created in a 2D style, depending on the artist who does it.

The purpose of the concepts of art is to guide our 3D team on what type of materials to use, what type of textures and what realistic finishes to add.

In order to make Mictlan a truly AAA game, with an A budget, we work tirelessly to design hundreds of characters, each with a unique type of garment, everything going through the wise investigations of our team, led by Santiago Sobrino.







Mesoamerican warriors

Greetings, community!

The project progresses with good rhythm, and today we want to show you some updates about our Mesoamerican warriors!

In this concept art, created by our very talented designers and illustrators, you can appreciate some pieces of clothing worn by the Mesoamerican people in the lake zone of Texcoco.

What you see is the ichcahuipilli (cotton armor), used in pre-Hispanic times and the early colonies. Some other pieces are characterized by animal patterns, such as the jaguar pattern, characteristic of the Mesoamerican cosmovision.

Mayan priesthood

The early Maya priesthood consisted of a hierarchy of professional priests serving as intermediaries between the population and the deities. They were men of great culture and wisdom.

The ones at the top of the hierarchy were called Sun priests, they presided over rituals wearing beautiful tunics, covered in animal fur and gold.

On the second level were the Chilan, prophets that went into trance to predict the future.

Another important figure in the Mayan culture were the ah-men, or doctors/physicians.
Ah-men were responsible for keeping a balance in life with nature and the spirits. During Mayan ceremonies, they used the aromatic resin called copal, sacred liquor, porcupine quills and herbs to invoke the four Cardinal points, summoning the heart of the sky, with powerful prayers spoken in the Mayan language.
