Journey to Foundation [VR] - Zoranel

The Zor Confederation is a small “barbarian” kingdom within the Periphery, located on the planet Zoranel. This highly religious civilization of artisans, scrappers, and scholars is best known for its rapid advancements in art and technology over a period of time known as the ‘Golden Age’.

As a Lead Artist on the project Journey to Foundation I have prepared the global art direction for each fraction and setting defining the key visual differences in between environments and style of each level following the narrative direction of the characters and story that is told in the game. This included material types, shape and color languages, level of technology, amount of decoration, prop and vegetation style.

Julia Bahdanava was the main Level artist for this setting, and created the modularity for the whole location following my direction from the prototype and exploration up until the release of the game. Deniz Giritli was the Material Artist and along with Johnny Rumeliotis supported Julia in development of the different areas of this plantet's environment.

Journey to Foundation is based upon the novel, Foundation, created by Isaac Asimov and was developed and released by Archiact & Skydance for Quest 2, 3, 3S, Pico, PSVR2 in 2023. Big appreciation to everyone who participated in the development and helped this game to make it to the targeted VR platforms.
