Journey to Foundation is a sci-fi narrative driven VR game developed by Archiact and based on Isaac Asimov's Foundation book series.
Empire is one of the iconic factions and is a representation of the Archiact's vision in the game.
As a Lead Artist my initial responsibilities were to prepare the modular blockout with the Level Design, assemble and recruit the art team, establish outsourcing workflow and processes, and start the production by determining the reusability and technical complexity of the Art prepared for the Empire levels and faction.
Due to optimization is extremely important component for the multi-faction VR game, I determined the reusability of the multiple assets across the different levels to look unique within the specific faction by tileable materials and details. My work was to break the Empire missions into specific areas and tasks and distribute to the team of artist, review daily and maintain the quality of the art along the missions and areas, improve the story telling of the environment to create immersive atmosphere for the players, playtest and make sure all the interactive gameplay elements are working properly in VR, outsource the props, review and provide feedback until the art is good enough to get into the game.
The final game is a result of the hard work of the Archiact's team and all departments.
