Objectives
For GDC 2017, Silicon Studio required a high-quality VR experience to demonstrate the high level of immersion that could be achieved with Xenko game engine. Silicon Studio and N-iX Game & VR Studio are long-time partners and cooperated on many different projects including Xenko showcase for GDC 2016. This and the fact that N-iX Studio possesses a tremendous amount of experience in VR creation made us a perfect candidate for this task.
Workflow
To create a breathtaking VR experience, our team had to come up with its flow. We decided to place the player into an old fantasy mine abandoned by its former inhabitants. Our team created concepts, and after a brief discussion with the Customer began the creation process.
N-iX Game & VR Studio was responsible for creating a hard surface and environment assets for the game level. To showcase Xenko’s light probes, we designed various light sources; from daylight breaking from the cracks in the ceiling to slightly flickering vegetation. Additionally, our team designed, modelled and animated the character for the end boss-fight.
Value Delivered
Presented on GDC 2017 Xenko VR demo took many praising reviews, and the audience highly appreciated its art style. Silicon Studio was delighted with work N-iX Game & VR delivered and extended our cooperation furthermore.
