As part of our more frequent dev updates, we would like to showcase in more detail some of the environment work we have been doing in OFF GRID. This week, we will be giving a sneak peak to the new external environment art used for the levels.
> Joe looks up at the buildings and says "You are breathtaking", he was talking to the smog
The first iterations of the city environment lent itself to being quite cartoony, which deviated from the original concept of the game and what we were trying to achieve with it. We created a new asset pack of modular assets both for the players and us to create OFF GRID cities that feel fitting to the tone of the universe.
The new reworked version of the cityscape next to Joe's workplace
The commercial district is where Joe works, it's an accounting business called Ascent Auditance that has absolutely nothing suspicious going on behind the scenes, it's part of a larger building that encapsulates both Firestream and Aldrenna as well, businesses that Joe has the opportunity to explore on this level (and also feature in our spin-off game OFF GRID: Red Team).
