Feels like all we are sharing recently are tutorials and no real updates on the project 😀 I can assure you that the content of these tutorials actually goes into the game! Were currently doing a final art pass on one of our environments so I will be able to share some ingame screenshots for that […]
The second part in our landscape tutorial series is online! It covers procedural puddles! Feel free to check it out and let us know what you think 🙂
We added a moss material layer to our rocks! It has some nice parameters and should allow for really fast placement. Its xyz-worldaligned so that we can use it for nice blends between meshes. The parameters drive how much of the rock it covers, how strong the normalmap should influence the result and if there […]
Movement and interaction is a important part of an immersive world so we started adding wind and player interaction to our foliage: Our system uses vertex color to drive the world position offset of the material, very similar to what you can find in the unreal engine content examples.

We can also paint in procedural puddles that conform […]
While environment art is still hard at work and animation has started its first mocap session ( I think we are going to do a blog entry about that at a later date) ui design is making a lot of progress! We have a couple of styles we are experimenting with for the design of our […]
Environment Art has started and we are currently creating tons of textures and materials! All of these are just Materials on a flat plane! To create our textures we are mainly using Substance Designer, all of the above are 100% procedural! Feel free to let us know what you think as our Environment Artist (thats […]
Hi everyone! Updates have been kind of slow the last two weeks as the team is moving into an actual studio and leaves the desks at home behind to serve as mere gaming stations If everything goes smoothly we are going to finish moving this weekend! In the meantime we have a short video that […]
Hi everyone! Last time we shared some work in progress screenshots of Zoe, today we are ready to share the final model you are going to see in the game: As you can see we set this character up in a way that allows us to remove the cap when we need or want to. […]
