Hello Builders!
Game development is inseparably linked with art creation and concepting! This time we would love to explore the characters that will live in the world of the game we’re creating and we invite you to join us!
Builders of China is about us supervising the grand process of building a great empire but at the same time it’s about people (builders!) walking, working and living in the places that we have prepared for them. And all of those people need their own faces, their own hairstyles, clothes, boots and so on! During the game development we have explored many different ideas and consulted our specialists from the fields of Chinese culture in order to make sure that we have a wide selection of “looks” available for our builders.
As you can see we have prepared several different variations of the hairstyles for our female villagers. Do remember that when you create concept art you explore a variety of possibilities - we can’t say that all of them you will see in the game itself. It’s also difficult for us to choose a clear favourite among those options but we feel like you might be able to tell us more about those that you liked the best!
Of course we’re not forgetting about male builders that you will be able to spot in the game. In this case we’ve tried exploring not only hairstyle but also beards and facial hair, checking what would look the best on our brave villagers. As you might already know we’re still working on the visual aspects of our game and our artists are busy preparing many different variations of which most likely a small percentage will find the way into a final game. Us sharing these concept arts with you is a small glimpse into incredibly potent word of art creation for game development and we would like to also this moment in order to appreciate all artists involved in the projects.
Now that you had the chance to see them - which are your favourite concepts?
Best regards,
Builders of China Team
