You would play an African hunter who would make their living hunting the continent's wildlife with traditional weapons. Every time you killed an animal, you would earn points that you could spend on new weapons and equipment, repairing any damage to the equipment you already own, cosmetic items, and access to new hunting locations. Gameplay would resemble that of the old dinosaur-hunting sim Carnivores in that you would track and stalk animals on an open map while making sure the animals don't kill you first. If you die on a hunt, any points you earned on that hunt would become forfeit.

Each map would be based on a different environment on the African continent. Among these would be the Nile Valley in Egypt and Sudan, the Serengeti, the Sahel, the West and Central African rainforest, the Kalahari Desert, and the Ethiopian highlands. There would be a different set of animals you could hunt in each habitat, and there would also be scattered ruins holding treasures such as extra points or items you could claim for yourself.

Your player character would be customizable. You could pick their sex/gender and certain other physical attributes from the beginning, but as your career progresses and you obtain more points, you would be able to purchase cosmetic items such as outfits, hairstyles, jewelry, makeup, and skin markings like tattoos or scarification. These would be referenced from various African cultures throughout history, and some of them could impact gameplay as well as character appearance. For example, certain charms or amulets might affect your hunting performance, and body armor would give you better protection at the cost of speed and stamina.

Weapons would also be based on those from different pre-modern African cultures. They would include spears, javelins, various swords, throwing knives, and bows and arrows that may be poisoned. On each hunt, you would be limited to carrying one primary weapon, one sidearm, and maybe a shield for blocking animal attacks. Although most of the gameplay would have a third-person point of view like many RPGs, you would have the option of switching to a first-person view when aiming certain weapons.

Parsan Magus

On the one hand, the former are responsible for a lot of the Greco-Roman glazing in Western culture, and they also have a pattern of claiming those Mediterranean cultures for Northern European "Nordics". These are the guys who imagine the Spartans at Thermopylae as all lily-white, blond-maned champions of the Occident beating back the "Asiatic" Persian hordes.

On the other hand, while it's probably less hypocritical for White supremacists of Northern European heritage to claim the Celtic or Germanic people as part of their ancestral heritage rather than the Greeks and Romans, it's nonetheless ironic how they idealize "tribal barbarian" cultures when the people in those cultures are White while stereotyping POC and especially Black people as, well, "tribal barbarians" and therefore inferior. They think it's better to be a Viking than a Zulu.

Khumetian Crocodile Warrior

This is a marker drawing of a Khumetian crocodile warrior from my ancient-era fantasy world. He would be one example representing a phenomenon in this world called therianthropy, wherein a human being becomes part animal through an expensive magical rite that must be performed at night during a full moon.

Native American Huntress

It being the 4th of July today made me want to doodle a Native American huntress. After all, you can't get much more American than a Native American.

Zaynab Bit-Zabbai in Full

This is another marker drawing of a character named Zaynab Bit-Zabbai, who is from the same ancient-era fantasy setting as Julio Antonio and Neferkaret. She is the warrior sultana of an Ahrabiyyan kingdom called Al-Batra, famous for its temples and other structures having been carved into the sides of cliffs.

Ahrabiyyan Camel Skirmisher

This concept art shows an Ahrabiyyan camel skirmisher from my ancient-era fantasy world. Most of the Ahrabiyyan peoples subsist as nomadic herders and merchants, but some urban communities have developed here and there across the otherwise arid landscape, most notably the city of Al-Batra with its famous cliffside-hewn structures.

Being better adapted to the desert environment than horses or other equine animals, dromedary camels are the mount of choice for Ahrab warriors. Their scent is in fact said to repel and disorient equine opponents.

Hoofer Hunt

It is morning on the open plains, and a huntress is stalking a herd of savanna hoofers on top of a rocky overhang. Not only are the little hoofed mammals tasty, but their striped hides are striking enough to be lucrative exports for the savanna tribes.
