For the masterclass we will go on a journey that starts by conceiving ideas around why we chose to make a game, discuss what makes for fun, what great looks like and what our core pillars should be. We discuss through a lens of an environment artist working in a team of many different skills and talents. We take a look into how design and art work together, creating a great visual language, good pacing and design. Then focussing much more closely on the art, it’s about taking our game to shippable quality and beyond, how we do that and the processes involved.
