Building Newhaven: Outpost and Environment Progress

Watch on YouTube

Development on Unshallow is continuing as we build out Newhaven, the first major region players will explore.

Our recent work has focused on shaping the region’s central outpost, establishing the surrounding underwater terrain, and developing the routes, landmarks, and sightlines that will guide exploration.

The outpost is currently in its blockout stage. At this point in development, we are concentrating on scale, room layouts, exterior access points, and how the structure connects visually to the surrounding environment. Materials, detailed models, props, effects, and final lighting will come later.

We have also been blocking out several areas beneath the surface, including rock formations, natural arches, caves, elevation changes, and deeper terrain. These early geometric forms allow us to test the composition and navigation of the region before committing to final assets.

The footage shown here represents ongoing level design and environment development work rather than final gameplay or visuals.

There is still a great deal to build, but Newhaven is beginning to develop its own identity, and we are excited to continue sharing its transformation.

Thank you for following the development of Unshallow.
