Hello, adventurers! 👋
How has your summer been going? ☀️ Enjoying the sunshine or are you already anticipating the rainy autumn evenings?🍂
We've rested a little but never truly stopped working. And now we're here to share another insight into our development process! Today let's talk about the most beautiful part of the game – the art made by Bill Tiller himself! ✨
A Vampyre Story has been known for its gorgeous and detailed backgrounds and we feel that in the new game it will reach an even higher level! But what exactly is the process of a scene coming to life? 🖌️
It all starts with the game design document that details the scene and what needs to be in it – all the hotspots, entrances and such. Then the first thing to do is to create lineart of the scene to include all the necessary elements, space them out properly, but also make the scene look fun. Let's take a look at an example, shall we? Here you can see the lineart of one upcoming scene in the new game – the Weasel News print shop 📰:
Once all the details are in order, it's time to create the atmosphere for the scene 🧡. Here's how the Weasel News looks with the right warm evening atmosphere:
And then it's time to color all the details! 🎨 Bill Tiller has an amazing eye for details and the backgrounds created are just so stunning, the whole team is in awe every time we see a new one come to life!
And here's how the final Weasel News scene looks:
Once the background is finished, and all the layers are in order, it goes on to become a 3D scene. We told you more about it in a previous update, so check that out if you're interested: View game page
We are so excited to share more and more about the game as we work on it! Let us know what you want to see more of next 😉
