Hey Backers!

Last week we showed you an overview of how our Creative Director, Eric goes about building out the worlds with a “sandbox” level he built specifically to show off some of the custom tools that he and the art team use on a daily basis. A bunch of you asked to see Eric’s original “normal speed” version so for those who are really curious about his process this 90 minute(!) version is for you. A message from Eric about it: “I would like to formally apologize for my utter lack of useful narration. You’ve been warned!”

With that out of the way… Today we wanted to hop back in with a couple of additional videos Eric has made for us, and really start to dig into some of the details about Cyan’s custom tools, how they work, and how they help the dev team build out the various Ages that make up Cyan’s games! First up, Eric will be digging into his workflow, and how he uses VR and our custom “slab” tools to rapidly prototype environments.

In his second deep dive video, Eric will be talking about the basics of building terrain. For our fans who are technical artists already (or are aspiring and the sort to watch lots of these sorts of breakdown videos on YouTube) some of this might sound familiar already, but for those who have never “seen the sausage getting made” before, we find this stuff mesmerizing, and as Eric says in his video… a bit zen inducing!

Eric is planning on showing off even more of the technology the team uses to make our games in upcoming videos. If there is anything in particular that you’re curious about be sure to let us know so we can pass those questions along for him to address!
