Blocking and Art Design of the Location

We’ve reached a significant milestone in designing environments in our game — we’ve completed the blocking phase and established the art style for the first of the twelve locations we’re planning on doing.

The first is set in the Ancient universe, and it takes place on a chessboard that is surrounded by the rich and pure elements of their civilization. The sights and sounds are precisely crafted to deliver the most enjoyable experience for participants, with every tile laid and light arranged for optimum immersion.

During the blocking phase, we optimized the layout for smooth performance on Meta Quest and SteamVR. Now that the art design is complete, the space feels alive with intricate textures, dynamic lighting, and a color palette that gives a sense of the ancestors’ world coming to life in a mystic way.

Moving forward, we aim to deliver the same forward-thinking artistry in every upcoming location. Each environment will feature its own theme, providing players with a high-definition chess experience.
