Hyenas: Map - Greed Is Good
Sega/CA Multiplayer PvEvP Shooter which unfortunately was cancelled. This was the Map used for the Public Beta Test.
------------------------------------------
My role was Associate Art Director - World which encompassed leading and managing the Environment, Lighting and World Tech Art Teams. Early in the project my contribution was very much hands on helping establish the Look and Direction of our maps, World Art Pipeline, workflows and setting the visual benchmark to make sure we were as cohesive as possible with content creation. We also had very stringent Production and importantly Game Design requirements that needed to be met which was also a big factor in our approach. Scale and continuous iteration being the key ones. My role later developed into overseeing and managing the production and teams once everything was established and contributing to the direction of our future maps.
------------------------------------------
Hyenas was set in the not so distant future with a semi-realistic look that had a stylization to really amplify and accentuate the tone and narrative of the game. Structurally and proportionally, everything was built to real world scale as best as possible to give a sense of tangibility and believability. Our use of surfaces and materials were inspired my current day space engineering too. To help bridge the gap to match the game mode and the over-the-top nature a material stylisation was given to the environments to create this semi-realistic visual look.

Below are all the Artists who did an incredible job building and creating the Maps really pushing the quality and visual look in all areas.
